Fall evokes emotions
It speaks myriad messages of
Beauty, life and re-birth.
I didn’t know what is “Fall” till I saw and discovered its real meaning. I didn’t know Autumn is “delicious” or “ the year’s last, loveliest smile” till I tasted it.
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” – George Eliot
Autumn was just another season for me, a relief from scorching heat. Beauties of Mother Nature were revealed to me when I visited this part of the globe to meet my girls who chose to study in U.S universities. The charm of Bryn Mawr campus captivated me, evoking emotions that melted into words:
Ochre and crimson
Robes of Mother Nature remind
Decay can be exquisite.
Autumn is peeping
Through the sidewalks it smiles
Evoking eloquence.
Beauty changes connotation
Decay doesn’t decimate it
Gather treasures for posterity.
Year after year, as I watch this beauty now and consider myself blessed to see how mother earth gathers treasures for posterity.

They have a few favorite authors though.
Then there are readers who approach a book like a friend. They fall in the third category. Reading is an experience for them; they connect with characters, feel the emotion of each one, savor the words and highlight what touches them. They are committed readers, in no hurry to finish a book. They choose their books carefully and don’t like to go outside their genre. Their reviews are critically framed, inclusive of good and bad aspects of author’s style and characterization.
