About this audiobook

Autumn, locally known as "Harud", is one of the four seasons in Kashmir, which lasts for a very short period from late September to mid-November in the Kashmir Valley. This book depicts the charm, beauty and grace of autumn in Kashmir. The change of color of the leaves on the trees during the season has its own charm, especially on the Chinar trees. This book has a perfect blend of fall and bloom, the poems are based on love, loss and death.
