I miss seasonal flowers very much. Because of large farms, people have almost no interest in growing flowers in villages where my parents live. In Chandigarh, being on my own, there are usually flats, streets and boundary walls of houses that face me, barren but for a few parks where trees grow in abundance. Sometimes, when I notice a wild flower on the roadside or a fresh sprig in the walls, it seems like a monsoon shower.

the pebbles and the twigs
