youth grows on branches of mango trees. pluck them early green and bury them in rice baskets to ripen them quick.
love grows on branches of guava trees. pluck them early green and they are solid teeth-breakers. pluck them late white, love melts in your mouth into pulpy relish.
a collection of poems (?) picked from my basket of memories.
note:
To prevent confusions,
Chitti is used to refer to my grandmother's sister. She is old.
Amma is my mother.
The word Chennait is used to refer to people from the city of Chennai in India. In Part 2: Srirangam I use Chennait to refer to myself, since its written in the pov of chitti.
I apologise if its too complicated. I just went with the flow of writing haha
