Thou art more lovely and more temperate:" - William Shakespeare‚ Sonnet 18

Disabled people are the most important part of our society and they should be treated with justice. Society should deliver to them according to their needs.

“Ruminations”‚ the poet can smell violence in the air “like the lash of coming rain; and this feeling seems to the poet to be “poised like a cobra”.

Daruwalla finds that there is violence in the very air‚ and that this violence is an indication of the mass hatreds drifting across the moon
