We present Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi ji’s amazing poem “~ Petrichor… ~”. We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji (who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages) and his artwork.)
~ Petrichor… ~ 
It was the first rain of the season…the heavenly petrichor –the proverbial Mitti ki Sugandh, enveloped the environment… Here’s a little tribute to this celestial occurrence…
~ Pravin Raghuvanshi
The first drop falls, the earth exhales,
A primal scent through the silent trails
It envelops unseen, as it claims the air
A scent unfolding nature’s blissful flair
Not merely the soil, but a time set free
Expanding endlessly, like a Banyan tree
It moves with wind, so tender and sure
An ever fleeting breath, deep and pure
No voices, no forms, yet it’s everywhere
A rampant hush, a fragrant sacred prayer
Never does it fade, nor does it drift apart
Till rain-soddened soul lands in the heart
