In remembrance of her: Payel Khanra
A bolt from the blue is
Her death
At this early age -only 25
A promising talent
She herself was like a poem
The shedding of such a bud
Is really a tragic matter
She has left us
Yet, she is still alive
In her writing -stories and poems
When I think
When will she come back?
I hear a beaming smile
In her numerous writing
Just then, it is felt
A writer never dies!
