How to have a happy day?

Day-27

NaPoWriMo-26

How to have a happy day?

Go out after a long time

even on Sundays with kids

not yours but feels like your own.


Take an old autorickshaw 

galvanizing on the roads

with the summer scale touching 

38 degrees Celsius on board.


To reach the destination

in sticky, sweaty swagger.

Don't miss going back in time

in a space touched by childhood.


To become a child again

watching a magician in

a dark auditorium

with kids who embrace their own.


End the fun day happily

with dollops of icecreams

and a leisurely banter

on a lake, cherishing life.
