Celebrations!



What does it cost to have a celebration?

A winter evening,
Four friends,
One barsaati,
Four glasses of chai.


Hundred bucks of gas,
A rusty old bike,
And an open road.

Maggi noodles
A hostel room
4:25 am

Three old friends
Three seperate cities
Three coffee mugs
One Yahoo messenger

Rain on a hot tin roof
Pakoras deep frying
Neighbours dropping in
An impromptu party

You and Mom
A summer night
A bottle of coconut oil
A head massage
Gossipping about absent family members.

You can spend
Hundreds on birthdays,
Thousands on festivals,
Lakhs on weddings...
But to celebrate, all you have to spend is....

Your Time!
