"Sir... remember me...?...", he came.
Damp, wet, muddy clothes, water in his hair.
He sat there for a moment, looked up at me , smiled, and said,
"Ganga-maiyya was a guest to us...
She stayed at our house.
She was bubbling like a married girl back to her parents house.
She danced within four walls like a child,
And how she will go empty handed ? - but my wife is still alive.
Walls have come down, nothing is left
everything we had she has taken away,
While going, as a memory, she has left tears in our eyes.
Now i am trying to go on, along with my wife ,
buiding walls again, taking out mud and clay....."
He saw my hand going towards my pocket,
he got up,... smiling.
"i dont want money Sir,
just felt some loneliness...
my home collapsed, not my pride,
just put your hand on my shoulder and say - just fight."

This post was inspired from a poem by Kusumagraj,
about a man whose house was distroyed by floods.
River in the photo is Krishna.

yaa, rivers give us so much,
sometimes they take away too :-)
Its sad wat happened.. When tornados in life hit us, leaving us with nothing but the ghosts of its impact.. Its difficult to pick up the pieces and build our life afresh brick by brick.. But thank god his wife is safe.. Becoz i believe that we can face anything in this world if we have our luvd ones by our side..
For once u didnt hv a pic of a plant.. Wat hua?? ;)
But let me tel ya.. Beautiful pic.. The clouds afar are incredible..

While going, as a memory, she has left tears in our eyes.
While going, she has left some water in our eyes would be more appropriate translation
