A fantastic expression has been made on Champak treee which is evergreen tree, known for its strongly fragrant yellow or white flowers. All memories of the childhood are attached herewith. I cite...

The tree that remembered all the stories and secrets told under it's sprawled shade. Now it has aged and no one to go there for its shade and comfort. Only lasting memories of how welcomed it was. Fading Champaka tree....holding lasting memories. Beautiful write! ! ! Thanks ma!

How many stories it has to tell Ancestral homes have many stories to tell and now they are desolate and empty. The champak tree is a reminder of the state of affairs. Beautiful poem giving the realities of life. Thank you.

Wonderful champak tree and superb recollection indeed, madam, I think if you were a bird, you would nestle on it. But the present reality is better as that bird would not have written poems on the PH.
