spring breeze–
I catch the tune
she leaves behind

Kala Ramesh

Kala Ramesh is a performing vocalist in Indian Classical music. Coming from an extremely artistic and culturally rich South Indian family, Kala believes -- as her father is fond of saying -- that "the soil has to be fertile for the plant to bloom" and feels that she owes this poetic streak in her to her mother. A proud mother of two young adults, Kala lives with her husband in Pune, India.

  1. Oh yes, I remember this from the Nest. One of the most memorable haiku of the year last year, Kala. Excellent!

  3. Dear Editor,

    I am looking for our long lost friends who i think are Mrs Kala Ramesh’s children. Me, my sister and my parents used to be their neighbours in Pune way back. My mother,Mrs Malathi Natarajan, and Kala aunty used to be gr8 friends too. I just happened to hit on this site and have no other means of contacting them.
    It would be very nice if you could help!
    Regards,
    Gayatri

  4. Did you two hook up Kala? I hope so, sounds like a lovely and amazing coincidence.

    all my best,

    Alan (still catching that tune)

  5. Oh yes, Alan!
    Thanks to tinywords we were able to ‘catch’ each other’s ‘tune’ after many years!
    What a coincidence indeed!
    A fitting finish to this haiku!

    warmly,
    kala
