…and it can't be better stated than the lines above.! Lakhs and lakhs of readers have already had their share of "madhu" from this "Madhushala", but it still serves relentlessly anyone that comes knocking at its door. This collection of 135 quatrains by Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan summons varied interpretations and diverse emotions every time one reads it. Known for an exemplary usage of metaphors in Hindi Literature, this work of art is as exhilarating, invigorating and gives a different high every time, without fail. Lets gather in the courtyard of this evergreen Tavern, have a sip or two from the ocean, and discover and share the experience that each of us goes through.
