Vishu, our new year is on the way
making me feel nostalgic,
remember the enthusiasm in all of us
who otherwise are v lethargic.
Still recall the joy of waking up before sunrise
to have a glimpse of the Vishukkani** with a price,
Yes, we all waited for the Vishukkaineetam**
which was given by elders as a custom.
Going to temples together at dawn
wearing new attire,
Then going for collection to relatives houses
we all used to conspire.
Counting the money we collected
used to be so much of fun,
We all return to our homes
once the collection is done.
Of course we waited for the Vishu Sadya**
a feast relished by all of us for lunch,
But for me this was a day of reunion and get together,
those wonderful days I will cherish forever! ! ! !
I WISH ALL MY READERS WHO CELEBRATE THIS FESTIVAL A VERY HAPPY VISHU.
