Maunam

It is a day when my throat is out

speechless I am all through

now and then this happens

my throat goes out of order

people in my land,  India.

take a vow  not to talk

mostly on Thursdays

a day of the Guru.

call it as Mauna viradham 

this they do with a determination

but to me, it is God Given

when I am down with a  bad cold

and incessant cough

my throat would get stuck

and I practise Maunam
