Vishu Festival: Sense Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

ON VISHU

Love and festivity of folks
Livestock and reunion, games
A sense of protection generates.
Vaisakhi or Baisaki in Punjab
stirs up history of Khalsa,
Festival of harvest in the Plain
Affluent as Gangetic waters
Cool pleseant and hillarious.

Bhag Bihu of North India is
The Bihu of Bengal in a sense-
Vishu of Kerala culminates here
As a festival of New Year Unity.
Puthandu of Tamil Nadu People
An ancient tradition spread over
All over South Asia of same spirit
Spirit of festivity of new vigour
Birth, Growth and bond of divine Love.
All proclaim India was and is One:
Historic Unity of it defies by none.
Not the political that U.K made as
The leather of foot-ball patches.
Truly, the cultural icons in our land
Stands through ages by Sages' hand.
