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.
