Writings, compositions, expressions, etc., confined to a select few have been set free now. Most of the songs and poems were written on the very same day as a result of what I had felt then. Cactus Bloom is a compilation of my work that I would like to share with you all, hoping to be of some relevance in one way or the other. This attempt is not to challenge any beliefs or to cement any comparison; it is a humble effort to do justice to what I have written, contemplating on what was and what is.
