A picnic we planned
during my pregnancy;
It was a moment I cherish
and hold with ecstasy;
A long ride in the bus
Never made me fuss;
The monsoon and the rains
didn't stop my plans;
I walked all the steps
to the mount of talacauvery*;
I never saw a morning
so beautiful that early;
Fluffy clouds and drizzling rain
Made me happy once again;
I took a deep rest
within the womb of Nature's best;
It is the place where the Cauvery river originates and flows in Coorg, India*
