Based on a true incident I wrote this poem.
The
Fasting
A wedding! In a fabulous February.
Flowers, garlands, sweets and songs.
Glittering jewels and
Fluttering children.
Beautiful girls, women and men.
Laughter joy and happiness pervades.
Arrival of the bridegroom
In a decorated car.
Its time for “Aarathi”
Shouted the women.
All of a sudden
Bridegroom fainted.
Crowd of people shouted.
A loud scream from the bride’s mother,
Suggesting as if it is a bad omen.
People ran and rushed and crushed the groom.
He panted and panted to get some room
‘All is well’ came from an old man.
Groom was recovered with a sip of juice.
Again the rituals for a happy life.
Gossipers in the crowd started their ride.
“Bridegroom is a heart patient” murmured a lip.
“A sickly man” the stout woman yelled.
Some felt sorry for the new bride
While others relished at the rare sight.
No one knows the reason behind the faint.
Do you what it is?
Bride and the groom fast on their wedding
To eat the first meal together.
Poor groom! he is not used to fasting
The result was the “FAINT”.
