MEET MY MOTHER

Her sindoor clad head, her gold bangles-

Her Sankhya,Pola,Noya ,her Bata sandals-

Her Tanth saree, her cotton blouse,

Her half-hearted bun, her simple spouse-

her marriage bed, her marriage album,

Her marriage almirah, her Ponds’ Talcum-

Her dressing table, her ladies’ watch,

Her puja time, her call for lunch-

Her kitchen room, her cooking tools,

Her ‘Payesh’, ‘Sukto’, ‘Posto’, her’ Macher jhol’-

Her’ Baperbari’, her ‘Sosurbari’,

Her soft corner for her ‘Baperbari’-

Her two children, her study rules,

Its her house, hence her rules-

Her soft touch, her winning smile,

Meet my mother through my eyes.
