When it rains
It brings along
Adorable sights and smells
Lovely childhood memories
All bathed, all green with
Puddles on muddy streets
Street vendors selling
Snacks and sweets
Air full of flavor
of samosas and challis
Or pakoras cooked at home
By Mummy, Chachi and Auntys
An evening tea extra sweet,
Spiced with ginger and Tulsi
When it rains
it brings along
Nostalgia and sweet memories.

You caught the essence of monsoons with your post. Rains bring along so much nostalgia. I also indulge myself with that extra-sweet tea on rainy days. Oh and it's been ages since I had tulsi wali chai.

ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Brings back a lot of childhood memories. Rains and pakodas are a deadly combination.
