Camel Ride in Chandigarh with my Grandkids..
On the back of a camel, my grandkids ride, With joy and laughter, side by side. Near Sukhna Lake, they take their flight, On a fun-filled day, bathed in light.

Fountain of Bliss..
In a small town of Punjab (India), where dreams unfold, A fountain of bliss, its story untold. In the heart of a Flats colony, where life takes flight, The fountain dances, bathed in moonlight.

Spider, Cobweb and Human…
In the field of green, a cobweb gleams, A silent weaver’s work, like whispered dreams. A tapestry of silken strands, so fine, A delicate and wondrous, nature’s design.

Construction Workers in India.
High above the city streets, On a fragile rope, they stand, With weathered hands and weary feet, They paint the walls with steadfast hand. Wearing chappals, no shoes to protect their soles, No insurance to protect their lives, Just a flimsy rope to hold, As they risk it all, to survive. For two square meals […]

Nature’s Canvas.
A field of white, Blowing in the breeze, A canvas of life, Beneath the azure skies. Green stalks sway, Dancing in the light, A symphony of nature, A breathtaking sight. Petals unfurl, Kissed by the sun’s embrace, A masterpiece of art, In this wild, wondrous place. Oh, nature’s canvas, So pure and serene, A timeless […]
