We know

faith wins over facts

intention over intent

desire over reason

 

still we look for

the obvious

but unseen

 

mind a curious diver

retrieves a trough of lost

treasures of Satpula

 

in the afternoon sun

the buffalos

chew at eternity

 

* Satpula (seven bridges) is a remarkable ancient water harvesting dam and a dike in the medieval city of the Jahanpanah in Delhi. It was built in 1325 to provide water for irrigation as well as defence from the enemy attacks.
