    Siliguri nights
    Stale hotels -- till sunrise smiles
    On Kanchenjangha. ​







    _________________________

    This is a standard haiku (5-7-5 syllable division) which should belong to the poem section. But I am putting it up here because it's a true story. Being short, it's not going to test readers' patience. The photo was taken with a cell phone, hence the poor quality.

    Dear Oj-da,

    I am not into Haiku. I don't really know what I am supposed to decipher from this beautiful picture and the words below. All I can say is enjoyed the picture, inspite of its small size!
    I am willing to learn, do guide me with Haiku.

    L, Kamla

    Dear Oj da

    The beautiful view must have been really worth the wait after bearing the discomfort of the stale stench at the hotels.

    She waited calmly,
    For the sun to caress her,
    lighted up brightly.
