The Nun in Convent


Poonam pays tribute to a Catholic nun, who taught them at school, exclusively for Different Truths.

She was a German Catholic nun

In an Indian Girls Convent school

Teaching English Literature and Language

In all the three sections of Class Eighth.

Each Section had twenty-six students

She knew all the seventy-eight by names and faces.


She would come to the class

And shuffle all of us.                                            

Made the backbenchers sit on the front seats…

And the front-seaters were moved to the last row.



She would pick one student in each class,

And pave a path into her personal orbit

With her powerful intuition guide.



Being her student,

As Shamans say,

I apply the same “Medicine”

As I practice Tarot Reading today.

By shuffling the pack of 78 tarot cards,

Memorising and identifying each one of them…

Pulling out one at a time

Diving deep into their radius…

Coming out with insightful vision…
