Charpai se

As an adult it breaks my heart to see small children cooped up in the so called luxury of their home with PSPS and Play station as their best friend , it hurts to see that they never learnt climbing a tree, they never got the joy of stealing raw mangoes in the afternoon, it hurts to see that these children never got a chance to push stones on their way home from school , my heart bleeds for them ------in one of these moments I got a spark and an idea of why not share my experience of growing up in a dusty small town in the 70s with today's children --- hence my blog CHARPAI SE -- Poems for Indian children in English. What ever I write I write it from my heart, no fancy words, no fancy frills just simple words and rich childhood experience mingled with the shades of Neem trees, sprinkled with the essence of cow dung, flavored with the spices of tamarind chutney and stirred with the memories of a small town girl who loved climbing mango trees.
