A Hot Summer Night

Live in the sunshine swim in the sea drink in the wild air. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Summers remind me of vacations. Beaches and coconuts. Nanis house and mangoes. The taste of Glucose in water and the smell of talc. Lazy hot afternoons where even the stray dogs find a spot in the shadows of a tree and dont waste energy in running behind the passing cars. By nighttime everyone is so exhausted that they melt in a puddle. Playing cards taking their 5th shower of the day and battling with the endless swarms of mosquitoes. Cousins traumatising me for life with their ghost stories on the terrace and sleeping under the stars. We hope this poetry book reminds you of all this and more. This book is a collection of poems from all over India. It aims to bring a little sadness some happiness and lots of good poems to you.
