“Wake up, wake up to this breathtaking sight
On our doorstep shines a huge kolam of flowers
So many activities waiting to begin”
Mom exclaims to me “Onam has arrived!”
I stepped outside my flat in sweet company
Of music and the dancing of people around
My nose tickled by the fragrance of flowers
Tempting me to join their singing and fun
Though tradition states a boat race to be held
With drought in Chennai, how can we comply?
But improvise we did – A boat on wheels
Weaving its way through inlets of concrete
Knocking on this train of thoughts
I pondered, what is Onam really about?
Fulfilling the boon from the Lord of Mahabali
Welcoming the King again to “god’s own country”
Onam Ashamsakal…
