True Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

If you are
Looking
For a true
Bengali,
That is
Certainly
Not me.

I'm more of
A Dilliwali
Carrying a
Surname,
that is
Bengali :)









(Though I was born in a Bengali Brahmin family and I can talk fluently in Bengali but that's about it, I'm more of a Delhiite who's fluent in Hindi and likes North-Indian dishes and abhors bony fishes. I also detest draping myself in sarees. I'm OK with salwar-kameez but I prefer wearing T-shirts and pull-on Pajamas & Trousers as they are quick & easy to wear and convenient to run around for various errands. Though I sometimes listen to Bengali songs but Hindi songs are my all-time Favourites.)
