Every Tuesday we will be sharing a poem from one of our wonderful Pen to Print and Write On! contributors. We hope you enjoy!**Nostalgia Hits Hard by Vrushali KhadilkarEveryday, while making afternoon tea, I think of my grandpa making lemongrass tea, Tasting the summer delights, I think of my grandma's handmade summer special delights,Me running through the stairs and garden at 9.

Those days are gone, no friends stood near,My spirits lived on higher notes in the past. Summer camp and basketball, was my go-to, Trekking with my uncle, I held his hand as we got down a steep slope. Mountains were climbed and memories were made. As of now the nostalgia invades and fades & blurs any wreck of the present day and age. Two years ago, is a nostalgia too, when my grandma passed away, and left me with blues.That guy held me close, he will become “nostalgia” too - one day! In the anticipation I dip in a well, deep well! Being on Facebook is a nostalgia too,I deleted it, forever, however, I crave the surge of connection and love it lead me to, You'll find me visiting all these digital graveyards - where my profile will one day be too. In nostalgia! ... See MoreSee Less
