Leaflets From My Life - when Books Floated Away In Mumbai Floods - 4 Comments

Felt very tragic reading this poem.Whatever material things lost, books are irreplaceable.Devaststing floods destroyed the priceless collection of books.I can understand your situation as we went through the same situation in 2018 kerala floods.

Ruthless and merciless flood knows nothing about the books and its importance. I feel for you but this loss is repairable with even more electronic books on ipad, kindle etc. Great series from real life story.

Ma'am i can feel it. The pain of loss. My father had been an ardent reader and he had good collections. But then situation was like i cannot carry them anymore and i have to end our journey there. I never wished to be seperated from them but i had no more choice.

A very vivid depiction of the agony you have felt in this tragedy. A wonderful poem so beautifully expressed

How deeply poignant and touching! I could cry a river if this had happened to me. Books shape us. They accompany us most of our time. Always there when we need them. And they have taken away in just a wink of an eye. A nightmare indeed specially if these books are special collections.

Alas! The time had come for them to say goodbye! The books were soaked, soiled, suspended in muddy water, They just floated, sailed and drifted away in the flowing stream! ----Being a book l; over myself I know how painful it is to see one's treasured collection of books destroyed in flood! !

Loss of books is more tormenting than anything else. Floods bring with it devastation in its wake. Thanks for this remarkable piece of poetry.

This very sad sequel gets 5 Stars full on Top, dear Dr. Geeta, horrible experience this Mumbai Floods anno 2005. Thank you so very much for sharing this very very sad Autobiographical Poem.
