A Visit To Sankarankoil

Whizzing breeze was moist.. In happy mood whirring thoughts Got unkempt fluttering freakishly on my head And I had to tuft them tight onto a vow often Extra special, desirous my heart This time on 'Independence Day'decisive To perform 'archana' for my Mother only To the Goddess, mother of my 'Mother Bharat' Silly, selfish it sounds, 'bless me, bless me' Sworn into Her domain selfless hereafter So to be expiating hitherto wrong Lub-dub-ing was my heart 'JaiHind, JaiHind' A bulky welcome, straight into the precincts We were pushed to find partly, partly Dining, playing, gossiping, quarrelling, roaming Aloof also queuing to worship bulks and bulks Somewhat a bridgeless, sober ambience ungodly Evinced an emptiness alone a stir of indifference Crushed in jostle habitual performing in urgency Revelation..'God is untouchable ever'..yet die hard Hurt heart fell before the flag mast wearied Enigmatic..people or the creator..heaved a sigh Got up to feel a fall of a rain droplet on me Mahatma's tears...? JaiHind, JaiHind
