Nepalese poem: 'Corona Says'[edit]
'Corona Says' seems to be an English language poem by Nepalese poet Vishnu Singh Rai, which (the poem) seem to have found it's way into Nepalese high school syllabus. I came across 2 academic reviews one on google books and another on google scholar.
I am looking for link to original poem, if possible, to make mind how far an encyclopedic note can be taken into Wikipedia. Bookku (talk) 06:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Nehru, Who all are in the image with him?[edit]
End of May 2023 saw some politically polarized drama about a 75 year old sceptre - from Tamil Nadu by 2 representative sent by a monastery back then- called Sengol which was presented to India's first prime minister Nehru on 14th August 1947. There seem to be two photographs of the same event (one of that may be before presenting scepter and another seem to be after presenting scepter that is my guess; An AI enhanced image of one of the image) .
I understand answering such questions after 75 year or so would be difficult proposition. But no harm in giving a try
1) Who all the persons can be identified in these two images.?
2) Whether Nehru's secretary M. O. Mathai is there in those images?
3) Whether C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji) is present in that image?
4) Whether P. Subbarayan was present there in those images? (This name is not in media up til now but one source -helped by WP-resource exchange - says it was Subbarayan who introduced Rajaratnam to Nehru.
5) Which one is Rajaratnam in given images?
