Shriveled Flower— An Observation on Life

<p>Shriveled Flower or&nbsp;<em>Murjhaye Pushp&nbsp;</em>is a beautiful poem where the great Hindi language poet Mahadevi Varma talks some hard truths about life when talking about a beautiful flower! Truths that have been often told by men and women of wisdom, yet the lessons are oft-forgotten especially when we are at the peak of our beauty and strength.</p> <p>The original poem is in Hindi and is presented here as-is for those who can read the language. For the rest, please jump on to my feeble attempt at an English translation.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/cutting-chai/shriveled-flowers-an-observation-on-life-886b0b97ef5a"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
