My Scrap Book

Author: Kamal Acharyya | Posted on: 30th, Sep, 2023

On my 80’th birthday,
I thought of
making a scrap book copy
with torn pages
scattered all around
in my memory lanes!

I started searching
all over
for those pages
in the arena
of the years gone by;

but where are those??

some have fluttered away
in strong winds
as kites
in the vast blue sky
bho katta ….

some have flown dancing
as boats
in rain water puddle
with clapping
of all friends around,

some were thrown away
as scribblings
for my attempts at writing
of first alphabets
with my tears as a child,

some are lost
in the chits
of games
raja-rani-chor-police
and a few more,

some had gone
out of the window
as torn Ludo boards
after losing the game
with no fault of mine,

some…….

some……..

and some more!

I promise
I shall keep searching
for some more
of those torn pages
and try to make a scrap book
on my birthdays
for the rest of my life
and always!
