Ghee
sweets and fruits in air
Melting
minds to call ye near
Indiran,
Atri, Narada
And
devas come holding
Huge
plates in arms
The
sandal paste worn
Bright
faces in silk dhotis
Carrying
happy news here
Both
families share and swear
Brahaspathi
chants ‘manthras’
And
engagement fixed thereupon
See,
my friend
A
mango yellow silk, in my dream
With
a pink Zari border
Koorai
being draped in
And
a garland worn
A
gift, from my sister-in-law
(4)
Erudite
Brahmin Pundits
Fetch
holy water in gold pots
From
all the four quarters
To
sprinkle on both to be married
‘Mangala
sasanam’ sung at a high-pitch
Rapturous,
yet no word uttered
See,
my friend
Lotus-faced
Kannan in my dream
Seen
with a garland around His neck
Throw
a smile and
Take
a quick glance at
The
Kaappu on my left
And
on His right wrists
A
novel way to leave a note?
