Peyaj Koli


My first post in Bengali. Those of you thought that nothing could get worse than my English, time for a rain-check.

Inspired by the only vegetable that a carnivore like me doesn't mind eating...once in a while.

Peyaj koli ami tarei boli,
Khete jare lage na mondo.
Halka shobuj boron jar,
Ar peyaj peyaj gondho.

Shobji rajjey “tuchcho” jey,
Alu raja…ar proja shey.
Phoolkopir moto roop oshi shey noy,
Gooney begun-o koreche tar joy.

Peyaj tar pishtuto bhai,
Jodio tader khub meel nai.
Kheyeche shobai, tobu gaye ni keu tar goon,
Jodio radhte lage shudhu kalo jeera ar noon.

Peyaj koli ami tarei boli,
Amar fridge e ekaki shobuj jey.
Radhte shohoj, khete khasha,
Amar priyo shobji shey.

Damn !! You reminded me of Ma and you reminded me of India. We don't Peyaj-Koli in this darned place.

@ Mustaf - Right you are! This is indeed class 1 or 2 standard writing. Which reinforces my belief that I didn't learn much after class 2...should have quit after that. What a waste :)

@Debanjana - Matha is alrite...Just that I am publishing crap like this because I think I am losing my inhibitions....Must be age!

@KG - Please check on your dad, am concerned about his well-being :)

@Madmax - There is nothing that you don't get in Singapore (so I hear). Maybe PK looks different and is called something weird. Try again.
