#15 - A Hindi poem that will wash away all your permanent stains

In this episode, I read the Hindi poem - Paani Ka Rang by Mohan Rana.  And it’s English translation The Colour of Water translated by Bernard O’Donaghue. This poem is a pocket sized gem. And perfect to get you in a poem-y mood as the weather looks to turn and rains are knocking at the door. It asks if all colour were to be washed away, will we then wear the colour of water? It asks, that if memories are colours, and if we didn’t have any, will we flow easy and transparent like water. Listen in, make it a Friday sundowner.  I read from the Poetry Translation Centre website here - https://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/the-colour-of-water/original   The host, Ravneet Bawa as -   @one_third_above on Instagram   @maikeya on Twitter   Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com     Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.
