The River Calls Me Comments

at distance afar river water looks as calm and translucent as the thoughts of a yogi, Enveloping my mind with its tranquility. Very much beautiful is the comparison. Watching women crossing the shallow waters of river rolling up their sarees is a juvenile delinquency!

i really enjoyed this poem. i DO wonder if Akhtar was scuba diving in the river when your sari ballooned! i've always wondered if Indian women wear underwear under their saris. hmmm? i'll send this to my/our Sept. 'showcase for PH poets' on my PH site AND send it to MyPoemList. i especially enjoyed these lines: (actually, I loved them) Sitting under the tree I watch the water hitting its raised roots. Restless and agitated as a disturbed mind. bri :)

Everyone experiences the marvels of nature specially playing with water of a river. The difference is that Savita is capable of converting her experience into a beautiful poem like this. I very much enjoyed, becoming of Sari into a balloon.
