Hello, Some yesteryear memories to be refreshed. Anyone remember these kavitas? It really felt good to me to read all these now which my bai and mummy used to tell me when i was of the age of riding tobu cycles ;)

Chakkiben Chakkiben
Chakkiben, chakkiben,
Mari saathe ramva
Aavso ke nai, aavso ke nai?
Besva ne paatlo,
Suva ne khaatlo,
Piva ne paani,
Aaapis taamne, apis tamne.

Haathibhai – Elephant Description
Haathibhai to jaada, laage motaa paada,
Haathibhai to jaada, laage motaa paada,
Aagad latake laambi soonth,
Paachhad latke tunki poonch

Ek Hato Oondar (A mice story)
Ek hato oondar, coat peryo sunder,
Haath maan lithi soti, vaato karto moti,
Jo banoo hun annapradhaan,
Kadi pade na anna ni taan,
Onndersenaa ghumti jaay choki pehro karti jaay.
Kotha rotlaa charti jaay, Loko sau vahechi ne khaay.

Ek bilaadi (Story of a fat cat)
Ek bilaadi jaadi, thene peri saadi
Saadi peri pharvaa gayi,
Talao maan e tarva gayi,
Talao maan to maggar,
Billi ne aavya chhakkar,
Saadi no chhedo chhuti gayo,
Magar na monma aavi gayo,
Chhedo magar khechi gayo,
Magar bilaadi khaayi gayo

Coming up next post is a Kutchi Kavita titled “Shodhyie Chhiye – શોધીએ છીએ“. Share your comments for this one
