Veni, Vidi, Vici Poem by Jasbir Chatterjee

Across the burning sand dunes
Of Thar Desert in Rajasthan
Walk the gay nomads,
Singing, dancing and dreaming,
While their throats crack with thirst
And their bellies rumble with hunger...

Under the cerulean skies and the scorching sun,
Over Thar Desert in Rajasthan,
Move the valiant nomads,
Dreaming of lush forests, colourful flowers and fruits,
While their camels strain under their weight
And joy seems to be too far, far away...
