Gulab jamoon


The sweet stall held its nose high;
right in front of our school..

The fragrance rose tantalizingly drawing my vision to a throbbing crowd;
Continuously varying in the density of content of their eager faces..

I used to stand there on the lane..
Fill the vacuum of my huge stomach with the aroma..
leave, Contented by looking at the smile
of a old man munching his plate.. 

With only half an anna in my pocket..
the prospect of a tiring walk back home..
Fifteen kilometers I would continue my romance with a round sweet tasty
gulab jamoon

Walking through unkempt roads lost in my thoughts,

I would wait for my birthday each year
to share a gulab jamoon with seven of my brothers...
