Kolkata 2025

We went to Kolkata to Nani’s home,

A place where cousins love to roam.

We laughed, we played, from day to night,

Each moment there felt pure and bright.

Mamu’s jokes would make us smile,

Mami’s warmth stayed all the while.

Nani’s hugs were soft and warm,

And Nanu’s stories had their charm.

Mausa brought joy, Mausi brought cheer,

It felt so good with everyone near.

My elder brother, definitely not calm but cool,

My elder sister wise but naughty, like no one in school.

My younger sister was the whistle of the house,

A moment without, you’ll be able to hear the slithers of a mouse.

We played some badminton, ran outside,

And had late-night chats we couldn’t hide.

We tried new foods, noodles and fries,

Dimsums hot and stir-fried rice.

Bubble tea sips and cafe stops,

Desserts from trendy bakeries and shops.

Movie nights were the best of all,

Blankets, popcorn, and lights so small.

Those days were short but full of joy,

No study, no stress, just fun to enjoy.
