1.9.75
Kamalam teacher's cane that beat no one,
Chipped walls and the dusty smell of 1st standard class,
Slate pencil that smelt of wet earth,
Studious Somasundaram, with a running nose,
Washed shirt and untorn trouser,
The seller of naval fruits flavored with chilly powder,
The 10 paise popsicle seller,
Sivalingam, who urinated because he couldn't write 'A',
Hopscotch, marble and kabaddi games,
Free text books in fertilizer bags,
Fried rice and jaggery pieces,
Elder brother Doss from second standard,
'It's gonna rain, gather the paddy fast' song
The moments in which i got introduced to all these,
You are also born, some where -
As a fellow traveller
