UNDER THE SUMMER TREE Memories of childhood that still breathe

By Tushar Pathak

The poems in this book come from a village author returned to every year, and from a childhood that did not know it was collecting memories for the future. At the time, these were not stories. They were just days-walking barefoot on warm earth, watching lanterns glow at dusk, riding a bicycle behind grandfather, performing rituals, spending evenings under neem trees, listening to elders speak in silences as much as in words. Each poem begins with a moment of childhood excitement-a swing, a storm, a journey, a meal, a mistake-and ends where understanding quietly arrives. What once feels simple and playful slowly reveals its depth.
