| Sweet "Gujiya" |
It’s that time of the year again
Dust laden corners
Are dusted and brushed
Empty cans find new entrants
Kitchen emits aromatic fragrance
Mommies prepare delicacies
Crunchy crispy sweets
Fills little tummies
Floors sparkle with mirror like shine
Elegant ‘Rangoli‘ adorns the corners
Scented candle illuminates the space
Marigold and mango leaves unite
Ornamenting the entrances
Tingling Bangles shimmering dresses
Henna beautifies the palm
Elated faces greet each other
It’s that time of the year again
When temples chime with
Tingling bells and
Reverberates sacred hymns
Welcoming the deities
Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha
Marking the Beginning of a
New Year… Blessings!!!
