A rosebud, poised to bloom, looked radiant in the balcony, a quiet symbol of promise and potential. In that moment, a thought stirred: just as this tender bud needs care to blossom fully, so too does the youth of our country. India, with its distinction as the world’s youngest nation, holds immense promise. But are we truly nurturing our youth with the attention, guidance, and opportunity they deserve? This poem by Dr Surinder K Tikoo is born of that very question.
I am Dr Surinder (Suren) K Tikoo. A plant breeder and research manager since last 56 years in public and private sector. Have been an avid photographer and of late have started writing little poems on photos taken by me. While taking pictures I keep a theme in mind which I write later in a poem.
