Photo taken from here

I yearn for the time
when eyes smiled, heart dreamt; childhood-
when truth had felt true

  20. Well, Kirti Didi, magic was so immaculate then and truth was honest. But we must learn to enjoy this phase too. Anyways, this was good and the photo too. You could have posted that photo of Bhaiya and You when you were small.

    And thanks for making me understand Haiku !!
