Welcome Rain

A small monsoon moment—rain-soaked greenery, petrichor rising from warm stone, and a humble plate of fritters turning weather into memory.

Sage-green snake plant gleams.

The scent of rain on hot stone—

a plate of fritters.

Welfare unto all 

Rab Rakha 

The Upstairs Tenant

Summer brings familiar visitors. Some catch insects; none contribute to the rent.

Climbing sun-baked walls,

tenant in the top storey

doesn't even pay rent. 

Welfare unto all
