Nostalgia -- A visit to home

Compiled in April 2006

In the form of a small poem!

I get thrilled everytime,
when i plan a visit to my home,
this time I planned one,
and came here to stay for a week.

somehow I am feeling different this time,
things are getting changed,
I have become a guest to my own home,
my sweet home where I grew up elder!

I started getting very nostalgic,
those sweet old memories, I always cherish,
tears filled my eyes when i realised,
the parental care which I miss everywhere.

Here days passed by very quickly,
all these thoughts sprang in my mind,
while sleeping in my mom's lap,
but she came to bid me off, its time to leave again!

matru moorthi laga, penchi peddachestundi stree,
oka akkala chellila, netho chinnatanam nundi toduga vuntundi stree,
nee inti illalai intini chakkapedutundi stree,
nuvvu enni janmalu ettina runam teerchukolenidi amey runam!

ekkado putti, ekkado perigi,
ye sambandham leni neeto,
yedadugulu nadichi, moodu mulla bandham to,
jeevitantam todu vundi, neku andaga nilichedi stree

jeevithantham maku inni sevalu chese neeku,
tala vanchi namaskarinchadam tappa,
emi cheyyaleka mee samasta stree jatike,
ankitamistunnanu naa yee kavitha

oo stree, yee antarjateeya stree dinotsava sandharbhana,
anduko naa abhinandana mandara maala!
