Childhood dream
to own a cozy cottage
painted white
with the red-tiled roof
Surrounded by the trees
remains unfulfilled
as I bargained for
the security and safety
my tiny flat provides

Wandering alone
Aloof from the surroundings
Chasing own shadow

Mysterious metal box
Hidden in the dell
Surrounded by the shrubs
Arouses curiosity
Greed to find a treasure coax
But what if someone played a hoax

Window- A Door To freedom
even if all the doors are closed
there still is hope
if there is a window
open it
let fresh air
light and
fresh ideas enter
let it become a door to freedom
freedom from the darkness

WISE TRADITIONS
Radha is going to get married today but as per the village tradition; she has to marry a mango tree first.
She ties a red sacred thread to the tree trunk, embraces it, puts her cheek on it, and then proceeded to marry her real husband.
To fight the menace of dowry system, villagers of Dharhara has made it a tradition to plant ten mango trees with the birth of each girl child so by the time they grow up, revenue from its fruits are enough for their dowry and wedding expenses and the mango tree acts as the real guardian of the girls.
A traditional ceremony in Dharhara, India, where a girl gets “married” to a mango tree before tying the knot for real with her husband. Image Credit: Supplied picture
