    Grateful to the editors for including my #haiku among their selections.

    Congratulations to all featured #poets. Thanks to my friend Mandira who sent me this photo saying, “The perennial Noyyal outside our house has dried up for the second time in living memory. The first time was in 2018 after 3 years of drought.”

  • THF Haiku Dialogue

    Delighted to have my #haiku in The Haiku Foundations’s Haiku Dialogue —Editor’s Choice this Wednesday on the theme of Migration-Immigration.

    Grateful to Carole MacRury, Guest Editor for the selection and her beautiful commentary which touched my heart.

    My father migrated from Sargodha, Pakistan and settled in Lucknow, where I was born and grew up. He used to recount stories of his life with much longing for his lost home & friends. This memory inspired my haiku. The word “hiraeth” fully expressed his emotion of an irretrievably lost homeland.
