My leisure time.



My leisure time.

Neither I like to go another place,
to seek my pleasure.
Nor I want kiths and kins
to spend my leasure.

I don't want electronic media
to spend my idle time.
I don't like to go cafe or resturant
to take my dine.

I like to spend my leisure,
closing my eyes,
sitting on my couch,
thinking my fair weather days.

When I was a boy of seven or eight
and the time was little bit faster
The Nights were haunted
and the days were fair.

I liked to play in the lap of greeneries
and liked to sleep in the lap of mother.
When the sun slept in the lap of nights,
I listened the ghost stories from my grandfather.

The memories spread sleeping potion
when I shut my two eyes
and spend my leisure, leaning on couch,
thinking my childhood days.

    Your reminiscences paint a vivid picture of simpler times and cherished memories. The nostalgia for childhood days and the comfort found in those moments of innocence and storytelling with your grandfather evoke a sense of tranquility and warmth. It's beautiful how you find solace in reflecting on those fair weather days, closing your eyes, and journeying back to the lap of greeneries and the tales of old. Such reflections indeed offer a soothing escape from the hustle of modern life.
