The poem haunts the senses of the readers. A road in the middle of nowhere is the sum up of all the happenings on that fateful day. Brilliant poem.

Thank you Aarzoo. There are two true-life incidents behind this poem, that haunt me even today. Of one, I have written in the poets" notes. I will write about the other, maybe later

Nellai: Tirunelveli. During November 2005, the Manager at the Tirunelveli branch of the bank I was working for, committed suicide following harassment by a powerful notorious customer and criminal apathy to his pleas by his superiors

Nothing is spared from the wrath of god and nature... Everything is washed away, Tears has no meaning and nature is ruthless sometimes. Probably I'am reading this poem at the wrong time when I'm vulnerable. lovely poem.10
