I am From

Posted by on May 11, 2019

I’m from books.

From cookies and milk

I am from forts

Huge and captivating

The cannons aren’t loud anymore

I am from the farms

The mango tree

From which nothing tasted sweeter

I’m from the early-risers and workers

From Bharti and Munish

I’m from the arguers and

Negotiators

From pay attention in school and

Focus on studying

I’m from equality

And tolerance

I’m from Rajasthan and Jaipur and

Dosas and naan

From seeing who could wake up the earliest

And the sports given up to succeed

From photo albums hiding in the shelves

Holding memories of the past
