With rain as the backdrop, Parminder Singh’s poem brings forth the course of a life which, in contrast with what was dreamt, goes kaput. There is a tinge of egoism which lets relationships flow away in the rain. The bloom withers away with time and the moments that could have been painted with the rainbows of togetherness pave way to an imminent loneliness.
