RICH | Rajasthan's Incredibly Colourful Heart #RajasthanKabirYatra

The warmth of Rajasthan,
The heartiness,
And the homeliness,
Kindle every heart as firewood would.

The welcoming expressions,
"Padhaaro-sa",
And "Khamma-ghani",
Make the desert taste like a dessert should.

The thirst for richness,
In colors,
In tastes,
Is quenched with just the sight of its food.

The shimmer in the sand,
Under the Sun,
Under the Moon,
Sets every camel in a playful mood.

The turmeric coloured sand,
From Haldighati,
Remains ingrained,
As a memoir of the war, it withstood.

Listen carefully to the tunes in the sand dunes,
As every note-like grain,
Rises & falls,
Telling every possible tale it could.

Respect this land as its Rajaas did;
Its monuments hold,
Memories embedded,
Somewhere deep.

As deep as the wells,
That were dug,
To fetch water,
Or as far as water in the oasis could seep.

Ask aloud and the walls would answer,
Some pink,
Some blue,
Yet with a coherent sound.

They'd echo abundant stories,
Of valour of men and women,
That fuel courage,
When each is unwound.
