As winter days come to a close
It’s here, it’s here, everyone knows
All step into the great outdoors
The West wind blows! The West wind blows!
A festive mood fills up the air
Paper crafted with so much care
Of string with powdered glass beware kites everywhere!
Kites everywhere!
These paper kites bring so much joy
To scale the blue the only toy
They mesmerize both girl and boy
We all enjoy! We all enjoy!
A hundred hues fill up the skies
Precious diamonds many a size
All heads upturned, skywards all eyes
Excited cries! Excited cries!
The rooftops become party zones
No gadgets, gizmos, no cellphones
Just sun and sky and mirth filled tones
And paper drones! And paper drones!
The war begins as kites collide
To cut a kite a source of pride
By friendly rules we all abide
Skies don’t divide! Skies don’t divide!
By Sadaf Jamal
In mid-January comes Makar Sankranti
On the northern roads, Sun makes an entry
And the days start becoming lengthy.
A time when harvests abound in plenty
Culinary expeditions make delicacies dainty
Old and shabby replaced by new and jaunty.
In Tamil Nadu, Pongal predicts prosperity
Gujarat flies Uttarayan kites with dexterity
Bihu revels of Assam ushers Earth’s fecundity.
Sabarimala in Kerala shows one light of Makar Jyothi
Lohri bonfires in Punjab and Himachal burn negativity
Rest of India celebrates Sankranti with great generosity.
To rituals, legends and traditions provide clarity
Pilgrimage and holy dip in sacred rivers, a reality
Amidst gaiety, may the joy of rejoicing last an eternity!
