I love to print words of heartiness
I love to air speeches of liveliness
I love to beam actions of peacefulness
I love to shower feelings of tenderness
...
Warm breeze; the neighbor tosses back the fallen apple.
Fragrant breeze; father takes me into his childhood mind.
Dawn breeze; the scent of green in the spring rain.
Sea breeze; the rising of rainfall into monsoon.
...
With my child
on my shoulder, i walk
in the long rain
carrying the heaviness
...
Indian waterfall listening deep to my inner voice
New year's eve...
her rangoli patterns
...

Spring
distant hill
a river carrying
the spring
waters of spring
father backstrokes
into healthiness
spring drizzle
the bipinnate leaves
fold into shyness
spring day
spots of rosiness
in the bud
spring morning
a rose wallah
dresses a boquet
