Banni....from the grasslands of Kutch !

Banni, the Kutch Grassland
Has evolved with a magic wand

The Camel adapted by learning to swim in the salty water
Just like our little ones who falter, rise and again falter

The Banni land has survived and thrived deep salt deposits
Just like our little ones who do nothing for any gains or profits

The flora, fauna and the hoo-mans are resilient despite the fluctuating climatic conditions
Just like our little ones who despite the pandemic have arisen and are driven

They say nature is the best leader
Showing our children to be a keeper, worker and a believer
