Raindrops On The Periwinkle

In her preface to the book, Dr Pulugurtha writes:

“It is the trying times that the pandemic brought about, the experiences of strange times that are still so much a part of life, of learning to deal with things in such times with all their restrictions that made me work at writing more form poems. The little bit of nature around me that I could see in my locked-in state, during my evening walks on the terrace with the blue sky above, the myriad cloud shapes, the birds headed home, gathering for a while and dispersing, the kites in the sky, the few other people on other terraces around, the trees and plants in my small green space that brought in so much colour and delight in difficult times, and Amma who has Alzheimer’s disease, became the subject matter of my form poems as well.”
