He couldn't see
The end of the road

The tears of an anonymous entity?
State by state, region by region

This tragedy has become political comedy All have to rise up to this reason Not just for Reservations and Entry into Vellore Prison Concerned...
Rani... this is very similar in England also. Suicide is known to be prevalent within the farming community but more because of the high number of unmarried farmers who work long lonely hours. An interesting write. HG: -) xx
No one deserves more credit than the hard working farmer. A great tribute, Rani, and truly appreciated. Best Wishes, Marilyn
