its all lit up and glowin...
matchbox houses...and
the faces of tiny ppl in them
the boy, carryin a basket
has a twinkle in his eyes...
dreamin of the
pistol and roll of crakers
his father promised for diwali
the girl selling bangles
is beaming in the saree
her loving husband got for her
with his humble earnings...
his eyes sparkled as he
saw the fire works reflected
in his sweetheart's eyes
bang ! boom!
i shudder for the first few times
thankfully my startled eyes meet nobody's
i aint no coward when it comes to crackers
i just let go...
a loooong time back
fumes fill the air and ma lungs
noise fills ma ears
giggling and running children
playin robber and police...
whilsting rockets
shiny crisp new dresses
matching earrings,bangles...
sweets...and more sweets
temple and prayers offered
for first rank,
for a job,
for a girl friend/boy friend,
for a wife/husband,
for a baby,
for life!
Herez to life again! in its best! Cheers!
Happy Diwali!
