For Madams A/S and C's eyes only

=====================

 

Nostalgic memories of youth

In a city of Odissa in India

City of my birth and upbringing

The five Durga idols scattered

Far away from one another

A simple pair of clothes

Nary a rupee to spend on tucks

Yet happiness oozed from within

Simple yet nostalgic days

Those lovely nights of revelry

Watching concerts  and dances

Performed by amateur men

It was a strict no no for ladies

Just a simple stare to a girl

Would many frowns unfurl

Staying out of home late

Returning in the wee hours

Yes ladies nothing I had

 But I still miss the young lad
