Wearing skirts with oiled two plaits
always on the street with neighbors kids
No breakfast, no lunch
Playing hide and seek, Paandi
Color, color what color what do you choose?
The streets were wide and clean
Played on the Terraces too
Left no place
sometimes fought with friends on games
blaming each other
Naana used to yell as we made noises
Once Naana was in the bathroom
my friend went and hide himself
Naana screamed...
The whole house tip toed
uncles, aunties smiling and also reprimanding
energies spent but happiness mattered
listening to stories from Damu's mother
making us listen and want more and more
some years before Damu's mom visited our street
Childhood friends a treasure
Lovely memories on which I dote still
