Adieu,Kavaratti;adieu...
This poem was the one I wrote after coming to Bangalore.I have much attachment to kavaratti..thats why i wrote this poem....
My soul still lives in that beautiful island
Where the atmosphere is extremely silent.
Even if I was afraid of the sea
The life surrounded by the sea interested me.

Lots of memories are there in my heart
With which my innermost can never part.
I cant forget the days I spent there
Till I go from this beautiful world.

Eight beautiful years-million of memories;
My childhood was spent on that marvellous isle.
There was my dawn,there was my day,
Yes,I can never part with those memories.

The days of happiness,the days of sorrows,
Those were the days of eternal feelings.
Island life has taught me a lot of lessons
Which would be helpful in my future life.

Those sand beaches where I spent my evenings
Always gave a cool and caring touch.
The spectacular sight of the bluish lagoon
Was always a thrilling experience for my eyes.

How can I forget my wonderful school days?
That school always gave me a lot to cherish.
The place where I had my school life started
Was also the place where I ended my school days.

I still remember my first day as a school boy;
A little kid holding the fingers of his father.
When I finished my studies in that institution
My heart was crying when I said "Good Bye".

My friends were everything for me
Even if I used to tease all of  them a lot.
But when they went away from me saying good bye,
It was like a tremor to my heart.

When I boarded the ship for my last trip
It was the end of my life in that island.
I dont know why tears came from my eyes
When I saw my island disappearing as a tiny spot.

Good bye,my dear lagoon,goodbye forever,
Good bye, the sand beaches,farewell to you.
If we meet once again sometime
I'll come to share my joy with you.

Wherever I go in this broadened world,
I cant forget my island days.
The innermost always wishing to go back
To that island where my memories lie.

I'll go to those sand beaches again,
And will lie there watching the dancing waves.
The music of the waves will make me sleep
Dont disturb,let me sleep peacefully;forever.....
