yamunotrii- 2013

yamunotrii- 2013

A weekend of absolute and ultimate bliss
Oh I am so glad we did not miss!

We learned Samskritam in classes
In lunch halls and also in corridors
Among some peacocks 
And with the bluebonnets...
Under the oak tree
With some chai tea..
In the light of the moon,
and the break of the dawn,
During dusk and with some drizzles
We heard the night stars whisper "nidraatu"
And the morning sky buzz "uttishtatu"

Out of of the mouths of children...

Joy of learning is best through teaching
If it's devoid of vital adult reasoning...

Why is it ekam, dve, treeNi
Shouldn't it be ekam, dveNi,treeNi
Are you sure it isn't "veni, vedi,vici"

We don't like anguleeyakathaa
No skit please
Who will play "madhyamaa"?
No volunteers at all!

Yes now we know vrukshaH, cashakaH, camasaH
Can we also have some snackaH?
Enough of atra, tatra, kutra
We cannot sit ekatra
We want to go anyatra
Or let's run sarvatra

Aam - now we know
bhroo is eyebrow
Aam reminds us of mango
So it's snack time- let's go!

paTati, likhati, gacchati
But how to say Aunty and potty
Meanie and also naughty

keshaH, karNaH, kanThaH
what is for ear-ringaH?
smaratu ooruH, jaanuH
krupayaa vadatu-
what is tattoo?

cibukam, lalaaTam, netram
Can we now have some jalam?
