My Hometown Timarni!!
Hometown brings memories of childhood
Invisible fragrance of crops in multitude
My Jamindar grandfather's big house
Where I would run around like a mouse
Of Uncles, Aunties and so many cousins
Where mangoes were eaten in dozens
Huge kitchen where my aunt cooked
No one's seat was ever pre- booked
House echoed with everyone's laughter
There has been nothing like it thereafter
Visiting the fields with the family for picnic
All of us in mood for fun, playing gimmick
My grandmother telling us bedtime story
Who at that time was in her full glory
The bullock cart ride was certainly bumpy
With all the mattresses hardly felt comfy
So many cows and buffaloes in shed
Milk in abundance, wanted tea instead
It was sheer joy eating together in a thali
Jumping and running around in the gulley
Every vacation we wanted to go there
As if no place to go elsewhere
Never has any trip to any destination
Never have we had any such vacation!!
