early darkness –
Deepawali lamps flicker
my memories
--Paresh Tiwari
Notes: Deepawali - literary translated to 'rows of lamps' is an Indian festival of lights, in which numerous lamps made of clay are lit all over the house. In the growing metro culture, these lamps have conveniently been replaced by electric garlands and yet, those clay lamps and the smell of burning mustard oil always makes us nostalgic.
