VARSHA - Harvest of Lost Dream

(Choreography and performance by Shri.Vaibhav Arekar)

While the stream of time eternally flows all we can do is wait. Wait to blossom to flourish and then to perish altogether.

In this story too there is waiting  A farmer who tills his land sow’s the seeds and waits. Waits with trust that the rains will come and nourish him with love.

I am the Earth I am the rain

I am the farmer I am the grain.
