Love Across the Salt Desert K N Daruwla The story "Love Across the Salt Desert" is set in the village of Khavda‚ located in the Desert of Kutch‚ Gujarat‚ India.

This chapter spoke about food deserts‚ which is an urban area where it is difficult to buy good quality foods. In Oakland California‚ there is many liquor stores‚ fast food restaurants‚ and establishments that provide non nutritious foods.

Desert Hornet Dream Somewhere it’s said we are shaped by life’s experiences. Whether those experiences are big or small‚ each can have its own impact on the soul. Sometimes those experiences can take hold of the imagination in the way a snake would constricts its prey and slowly consume it. Feeling every fiber of that being‚ tasting where it’s been‚ and how it got there. Savoring the long slow process and digesting what could be a long interlude to the next consumption. I had such an experience
