Parched earth..parched soul...


What has gone wrong to the mother earth? The blanket of dust, for the past two weeks, have enveloped the green surroundings, the mountains afar, and the azure blue sky above. Such bleary is the scene that it is sucking the life force and rendering us limpid and dehydrated like a squeezed out sugarcane.The trees being already devoid of leaves, this feeling of barrenness is exacerbated by the dust spell. While crossing the mighty river Brahmaputra, I was distressed to see the magnificent panoramic view of the river being submerged in the dusty haze. We are longingly waiting for the sound of thunder and pitter pater raindrop. But alas! It's almost two weeks now and there is no sign of rain coming..We all are parched..humans, animals, and trees all around. Oh..how lovely it would be..to smell and inhale the scent of drenched mother earth!
