The sound of music fills the air,
The aroma of coffee is felt everywhere
The land of temples rises to share
For here is Margazhi, Chennai”s annual cultural fair
Is it the glow of the Silk that’s causing the glare ?
Or the glitter of the gold making everyone stare ?
Or the fragrance of jasmine adorning people’s hair ?
The Divas of Chennai do turn up with a lot of care
The seats in the sabhas are slowly filling up
The queues at the canteens rapidly lining up
Whether Filter Kaapi or raga Kaapi, we equally relish
For both leave their lingering flavour we always cherish
Some come to soak in the grandeur of Kamboji
While others come to lap up the yummy poori bhaaji
If Thodi and Abhogi could stir you up,
So can Bonda and Bajji pep you up
In this month, in this land,
Music & Masala go hand in hand
A soulful song here, a graceful dance there,
A rhythmic beat here or a riveting drama elsewhere
A feast for the eyes, a treat for the soul.
It’s all out there
For this beautiful city to share ....
Rendezvous with the month of December
Has etched in it a lot of stories to remember
Now on, Chennaities have no moment to spare
For here is Margazhi, Chennai”s annual cultural fair.... !!!!
