Charulata Panigrahi
In olden time
Girls did a lot of embroidery.
Granny once told me an interesting fact,
Before wedding ,
Each girl sew forget me not
In different shades on pillow covers.
The cherished gift for the would be
And a must item in a girl’s dowry.
I chuckled and asked
“Did you do it grandma? “
She gave a naughty smile
And nodded in affirmative.
She confessed grandpa liked it.

Ah the granny talks are there no mor
As both grannies and grandchildren
Have changed a lot.
Children are busy with modern gadgets
And grannies love to walk and talk
In the parks.
