Before every exam
we would partake
spoons full of
yogurt mixed with curd
believing it would bring
us unprecedented luck
carrying our luckiest coin,
a talisman, a totem object or
Durga Chalisa in our wallet,
we step out gingerly
avoiding any black cat,
single mynah or a barking dog
while our eyes seek
darshana of a street cleaner
whose long broom can
not only clean away the dirt
but also the cobwebs
from the path to
Our good luck and fortune.
