Answer 2

In the poem "Wind" by Ruchika Gupta, the poet converses with the wind. The force of the wind has been portrayed and the poet says that wind is damaging.

• He has connected the damaging force of the wind to the misfortunes of life and says that the frail individuals separate, yet more grounded individuals arise out of difficulties, more grounded.
• The sonnet gives a significant message that we ought to be intellectually extreme and genuinely impressive to endure the difficulties of life. A powerless individual separates like a frail structure and crumbles.
• We should make these disastrous powers our companions, with our solidarity and assurance.
