Pongalo Pongal...

Mild chill in the air

Resonating music

Haunting bhajans

Colorful kolams

Maamis and Maamas heading to the sabhas

December flowers lending their hues

Hot Kaapi tasting never as before

Time to bite into

The juicy cane..

Time to worship the Sun God

Time to express gratitude to the tillers of the soil

Time to wipe out the old and

Bring in the new

Let the lusty cheers of

Pongalo Pongal

Course thro' your veins

Reach into your souls

And spread joy and light

Pongalo Pongal!!!1
