no time to swing and dance, flying kites with the playful wind, forced to watch extreme cruelties, ohhhh what an expression....... you personify the Peepal to make ur point Geeta. sooo nice. through the eyes and heart of the Peepal i was witnessing all the cruelties of the past......... i felt emotional.. and was very sad to think of all that.................your poetic mind finds always a great theme to write wherever u are dear Lalitha Geeta
