No less than a complete Big Bazar


My li'l village was in no way lesser,

was out and out, a hefty Big-Bazar

lived one barber, one cobbler and,

a blacksmith to take proper care

Held in a cluster of neat abodes,

and many open-hearted persons

can have a meal in any of those,

be it any damn day or odd season

Surplus food was readily available,

for d' surprising guests/ strangers

no single sole suffers from hunger,

the prime policy of our big-bazaar

Vegetables plucked from d' field,

d' stew made, fully fresh, and fit

sahi-paneer appears lusterless,

it's relished with utmost delight

two minutes noodle, of no charm,

if swiftly cooked porridge, served

do pour cold drinks into d' drain,

if got dab water/fresh lassi-sorbet

D' green neem-sticks toothbrush,

or d' mulberry bush herbal stem

flawless for d' teeth to sparkling,

no brush-paste Co.'s dirty game

The average youth of my village,

adept in beating d' earthen pots

create crazy musical ambiance,

can outdo big-bazar music slots

Smear Multani mud on the body

and dived into the village pond

enjoy d' alluring site, better than

d' stunts from d' diving platforms

Cozy sauna bath, scented soaps,

feels insignificant in comparison

often bath in d' river with friends

catch live fish, bring them home

Enjoyed d' kabbadi competitions,

no addiction to d' cricket matches

rules framed by d' village elders,

felt happy in d' friend's presence

Granny's stories, thrilling, exciting,

not the mobiles, tv, newspapers

brotherhood was always intense,

love d' persons living in next door

It might look like a tiny settlement,

yet a perfect place to live, happier

a place of peace, love, solidarity,

no less than a complete Big Bazar
