I know how to find my way,
For I can see the lighthouse…”

The Way I Saw It:
I’d gone to Mubarak Village on a welfare work oriented visit with a team. We found the populace in extremely poor conditions; majority of whom were Baloch fisher-folk. We got an update on welfare activities being carried out; it did give me some hope and we are looking forward to contributing towards development as best as we can as well. This poem came as a result of that optimism which took over me after trekking for an hour to behold this beautiful view…..
