 Happy Holi!!

A Poem


In tranquil days of early childhood,

Sibling and I played joyfully,

Fun games of  Colour Fest -Holi,

With our friends in Pragathi Vihar -New Delhi,

Unlimited fun with 'gubbaras' and 'pitchkaris',

Small water balloons filled with myriad colours,

 Colour water sprays and sprinklers,

Taking by surprise and shock,

The unsuspecting passersby,

By the colours thrown on them,

Watching with impish joy,

The look of chagrin on their faces,

Filling our young and carefree vagabond hearts,

With scintillating happy ecstasies,

Today on Holi,

My mind is filled with happy memories.

Of those mostly happy, carefree, delightful days,

Days filled with simplicity, love and laughter,

Ours was quite a happy home till later,

The yellowing days are mellowing,

Some days are more unforgettable than others,

Like today,

So, wishing one and all,

HAPPY HOLI, today!
