Happy New Year
I Indranil Bhaduri

Altın Yaprak
It was a new year eve,
As I drove through the lit up streets,
Glowing, illuminated, happiness unbound
With a festive aroma all around!
Wishes poured in lots
Grabbing the midnight hours
With colourfully dressed people
Giggling, laughing, rejoicing
Drunk and merry
With shining expressions and glory.
My mind was just ready
To reach my destination
And sink into the cheers aloud,
Looking to go insane,
As I heard a knock on the window pane.
And there he was,
A little boy with a smiling face.
With torn clothes as he wore
Wishing me the merry advent
Of another year afresh,
Longing to revel
With the coins on his palm,
Making me wonder and realise,
The happiness of life,
Within a hungry stomach!
And as I walked along,
Holding his trembling hands,
My soul heartily celebrated
That eternal moment,
Wishing a very Happy New Year.
