Perfume

-Anshudha Garimella I always thought the easiest way to reminisce was to spray some perfume It takes me back to that summer faster than my memories do And with one spritz of that sparkling essence I can see it all again. It’s a song liquified into a bottle the perfect refrain A melody of perfectContinue reading “Perfume”

No Man’s Land- a poem

By Anshudha Garimella It’s women’s history month and I was inspired to write the following poem.
