A thread of affection brought
To be tied
as a token
Just as a
token taken
In a room,
alone to invent
The
presence of the person absent
My fingers
do the job of tying
With
difficulty, I took a selfie
To sent it
through WhatsApp
And to put
up on the F/B
To make my
sisters feel happy!
That I did-
the ritual without retreats,
Flowers,
roli , akshat and sweets!
At home,
back at home,
Even with
difficulty we meet
Distances
are impossible
To traverse
every year
But the
bond feels nearer
There is a
festive mood
Not that we
sit alone and brood!
But what
about those whom
I have
never met but
Feel the bond
abloom
In this lonesome
room
And help remove
the gloom
Of the day!
Rakhi is
not only for siblings
But it is
also about feelings!
It is not
about family ties and blood relations
But about
respecting another being beyond rationalizations
Who is as
precious as your own sister!
Born of
another mother, nevertheless
I missed
her, as my own sister!
