Jaggery days

This poem celebrates Makar Sankranti, a festival of new beginnings, gratitude, and harvest. As the winter mists lift, the sun's radiance returns, symbolizing hope and renewal. The skies fill with soaring kites, carrying dreams and prayers for prosperity. The air carries the aroma of roasted sesame and jaggery, signifying warmth, unity, and sweetness in life. This poem captures the essence of Sankranti—the transition from darkness to light, from cold to warmth, reminding us that every end is a new beginning. It is a tribute to the simple joys of life and the enduring spirit of hope and community.

January mists. 

Yet the sun shines, the kites fly, 

and the people pray. 

Days of darkness, gone, 

mists carry roasted fragrance.

Jaggery, and nuts.

Welfare unto all

'tis Lohri everyday

Lohri, a festival that marks the end of winter and the arrival of longer days, symbolizes warmth, gratitude, and abundance. Traditionally celebrated with bonfires, songs, and offerings of seasonal harvest, it teaches us to embrace the light that follows darkness. This haiku reflects the deeper spiritual essence of Lohri — the grace that leads us through life’s winter tides, turning each moment into a celebration of divine blessings. May this poem remind us that with faith and gratitude, every day can be a Lohri, filled with hope, joy, and the warmth of togetherness.

Bounties of Thy grace, 

leading through the winter tides.

'tis Lohri everyday. 

Welfare unto all 

Rab rakha
