no where to complain but to maintain the sturdy silence with total surrender and tolerance Hasmukh Mehta

Out of the frying pan and into the fire – the situation of migrants are exactly like this. A heart-wrenching reality aptly depicted. My best prayers for them... Sangeeta Das, Delhi, May 16,2020

Not anticipating this could possibly be the biggest mistake of the decision to clamp down the country at extremely short notice. Though several States are now making arrangements of trains and buses to help the migrants, the measures seem to be inadequate as migrant families continue to walk. Unfortunately, several mishaps are happening on th highways and train tracks, killing several people. Your poem very sensitively touches upon this huge human tragedy. GSP Rao, Hyderabad, May 15,2020

Hasmukh ji, your poem touches upon one of the big tragedies of recent times in India - the migrant labourers walking back to their villages and towns, when the entire country is locked down. Their sheer numbers, helplessness and desperation to somehow get back to the emotional folds of their families, is very heart rending. This is reminiscent of large scale movement of people across the borders during the Partition... GSP rao hyderbad
