Bikash Choudhury
My apartment lit up tonight
People say Diwali
Went out, felt, touched and smelt joy & happiness in the air
Long queue at sweet stall,
Children & young, mob cracker shop
It is all colors and lights on the street,
Homes all bright and beautiful with humble Dias,
Cheers flowing into the street,
But, I see young boy on the job still,
Family live under the sky on the street,
Ganga and Yamuna flow no more with eternal water,
Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai full of garbage,
When will India celebrate Diwali?
When will India celebrate Diwali?
