RAKSHABANDHAN

In this life

like birth and death

Comes once.

Childhood, adolescence

and finally age old.

The true age begins

and ends in Conflict.

As it begins in the

month January and

ends in December.

Dassera, Diwali, etc

as it happens once a.year.

One of those festivals

My sister's favourite.

She waited for a long time

for twelve months

to bind her brother's hand.

that auspicious day,

Auspicious moment

dreams, goldmiths,

Memories is "Rakshabandhan".
