Women Who Wish To Get Everything For The Betterment Of Their Life! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Women Who Wish To Get Everything For The Betterment Of Their Life!



The women who wish
…to get everything for the
betterment of their life

shall get up in the very early morning,
…to sweep and remove all the dust
to make the home neat and beautiful,

cleaning the vessels used in the earlier night dirt free,
…sprinkling over the floor of the house
with dissolved cow-dung,

filling the bucket and the pots with pure water,
…wear the flower for their hair over the head
and light the fire for preparing food!

Note: Cow-dung was considered as an antiseptic and used still in villages for cleaning the floor.

காட்டுக் களைந்து கலங்கழீஇ யில்லத்தை

நல்ல துறல்வேண்டு வார்.46 ஆசாரக் கோவை
