I can’t see all of any horse at once.
They weave through twilight, in and out of sight,
as the sky drains of color, enters dusk.

The barn’s a bloodstain on an ivory dress,
lost in the skirt, a spiraling red kite.

Growing up, I dreamed of a community library in my village, but none existed. After moving to Delhi, discovering TCLP reignited that dream. In 2020, We opened @bansalibrary.bsky.social —a space where everyone is welcome, also the first free community library in an entire district in Uttar Pradesh.
