"Where I'm From" Digital Story
I am from the banks of river Ganges
Where chimes of temple bells ripple through the water
I come from the city, where
Buses, cars and trams
Kick off the dust and turn the sky gray.
Chillies, cumins and turmeric stains
Color my nails
When I sit on the floor to share the meal
I come from the street-side chats
Getting louder and louder with every cup of tea
I am from the Festivals, dances
And late night strolls through the city
Lazy afternoons with
Tagore, Ray, Christie and Holmes,
With a bowl of mango pickles to tingle my senses
Mosquito nets and barks of stray dogs
Keep me company as the night deepens
Tears and loss
Love and affection
Bind the family with so strong a bond
I feel a pull across the oceans.
The city of joy...........
That is where I am from.
