On giving and festivities

Diary entry by my father made on 2.6.2002

16

I hear leaves drinking rain

I hear rich leaves on top

Giving the poor beneath

Drop after drop

't is a sweet noise to hear

The green leaves drinking near

And when the rain shall stop

A wonderful light will fill

Each mark, round drop

I hope the sun shines bright

It will be lovely sight

Let's get going

Start the festivities

Never mind what they say

Drink wine

With your loved ones

Never mind what they say

What do I care

If people approve or disapprove

God bless my friends

And my loved ones

Never mind what they say

This blog is dedicated to the memory of my dear father Jaswant Singh Matharu.

In his twilight years he maintained diaries which are a glimpse into his sensitive soul.

I share the pages of one of his diaries here.
