I long to sit quietly under the shade of a Pipal tree,
Where the heat of the sun comes in with the cold air.
By laying down on the cot and stretching my legs
I long to see those colorful butterflies sucking nectar
I long to chase the Bullock Cart from afar
And listen to the ringing bells till the very end.
I long to catch the falling leaves flying in the wind
And count them later and pick some as prizes.
I long to smell the loaves being roasted in the Tandoor
And then run to extinguish a coal fire with water.
Now I barely see folks running after the kite to catch
Nor do I see the bunch competing to collect the broken pieces of the bangles.
The virtual world has taken over the real world.

My days at farmhouse: I long to smell the loaves being roasted in the Tandoor And then run to extinguish a coal fire with water.
