the bulbul scoops out luscious flesh
maggots for her young

  • Symbolic picture of mother’s love condensed in a poem is heart-touching . Seeing and reading this beautiful picture and emotional poem,
    I am reminded of punjabi singer Kuldip Manak ‘s song on Mother’s love .English translation of that is ” there is no substitute of mother in this world. No child be deprived of his/her mother. “
