AUTOBIOGRAPHY-2 : My child, Surroundings and Nature

With Summer’s approach, mango grooves bloomed with buds

When the bees flocked around trees to suck honey and buzzed

When some buds fell down and stud, nectar wets the ground

We, now and then, visited garden when globules to be found

Nature beckons me to come and see occasionally to enjoy

Her charming gift, what was indeed, left back when a boy

But till to date, I could not get, any chance to visit on Her call

Being engaged in duties in keen to comply with them all

Autumn arrives, soothes lives, the pleasant breeze blows

Starts to bloom white kash brooms, night jasmine grows 

In clusters, the divine flowers bloom in thousands in dusk   

Grace night; avoid day light, at dawn to fall down they busk

In our Epics, the story depicts about the jasmine tree’s birth

On request of Satyabhama, Lord Krishna brought it on earth

From Heaven, where sweet fragrance filled the sky and air

Flowers of this divine tree, now our Autumn’s glory, so fair

Lord Krishna planted it slanting a bit on Satyabhama’s yard

Tree bloomed but flowers fell down in Rukmini’s courtyard

Satyabhama in gloom cursed the tree to bloom not at all in day

Let nobody be happy to enjoy your beauty; Let none be gay
