A Home in Simla and other poems

I wrote these poems during a lifetime that stretched from the neem trees of Agra, the shimmering lakes of Agartala and the dancing warriors of Mokokchung to my many homes across the country. However, what remain central to my life experience are my recollections of the deodar and pine-covered hills of Simla and Bhajji House, home to my grandparents. It was our refuge between my father’s frequent transfers to different places.
