The Land Far Away

The land far away from where I live

I yearn for you

Maybe it's my origin that it seems as a calling for me

I dream of green paddies 

I remember the fragrance of ranga maati

The terracotta lanes

The mud houses

The smile on our maid's face

The soft voice of my grandma

The calling of my uncle

My parents beside me, reminiscing their young self there

I get you now

The land far away

Please be like that till I return to you…..
