A Festival of Rocking…

A Festival of Rocking…

And the noise startled my ears
To look out of my window
See nothing but the smoke everywhere
I step out of my room to move around.
I see…
somewhere tinny-mini diyas around the houses
as lighting fences
somewhere dhudum-dhadam-dhudum sound
some raja-maharaja or Sultan coming around.
somewhere among them the rocking children voices
and somewhere again come chit-chat-chut- or soooooooooooor noises
sparkling-n-circling of fiery crackers…
sparkles of fire flying and crossing skyscrapers.
decorated balconies of houses with lamps
the lamps of electricity, paper, plastics and the lamps of mud.
When I ask someone what’s this happening? 
A reply come it’s a festival of rocking.
