dear Hom Raj,

can i share tears with your mother?
can i shade a drop or two for
my own mother?
will it go on forever?
the same old story:
some in Bombay,
and some in bondage,
and few in Sapta kosi river.


note: this is just my reaction after reading your heart breaking poem.

Dear Hom Raj:

I (re)read your poem and I think I liked the way you used a lot of
similes in your poems. The poem is also pregnant with a lot
of memory, circumstances and ,in its climax, anxiety. Such
meaningful writing , I think , is very much appreciated in the
circle of both experts and casual readers alike.

I hope to read more of your poems and ,time permitting, comment
on them.
