Growing up in a multi cultural society is always good for children . It gives them a good exposure as they grow. They learn of the value to respect the faith of people from various walks of life. Ramlila is a musical folk performance enacting the story of Ram and Sita over ten or more successive nights. Raghupati is a devotional song in honor of Lord Rama. Greetings from India . It is the festival of Diwali. the festival of lights. depicting the triumph of good over evil

 Glimpses  on  girlhood

 

 

Yellow shoe flower

Whorls skirting

Stamen sticking out

Reminds me so

 of my girlish years

New breasts rising

Under my favored yellow dress

Cycling thru the street I go

On my way to church

 In the fall of '68

 

 

 

Glimpses of my girlhood

Time when I went to learn

At a temple for art class

At ten, sa re ga ma

Like do re mi sing..

We were soon at Ramlila

Singing raghupati raghava

In praise of Lord Rama

At an open air show

In the factory ground

In the fall of '68

In the fall of' '68

With a great cultural divide, our lives were so different then. But then, I wasn't a girl. Through your poetry, I can glimpse into your teenaged desires.

What great memories you must have! When I was 10 I had about lost my will to live. But I trudged on. And here I am today, surrounded by many friends I've never met. This is a strange world...

This sounds glorious! I have watched various videos featuring holidays in India.........so colorful with floating candles and treats being offered. If there is one place I'd love to visit, it would be India.

Love ya!
