Sounds painful! 😖
In preparation for reading The Cloud Messenger by Aamer Hussein, I am reading the lyrical poem of the same name by 5th-century author Kalidasa in which a yaksha (nature spirit) asks a cloud to travel to his beloved. It's been a surprisingly fluid & delightful read so far, with so many mentions of flora & fauna I have to look up.
