Afternoon in Dhubri

Under the jackfruit tree

Three plus one

Paltu, Kanua, Devdas, Dipu

Saturdays and Sundays usually

Played carom did we.



Plastic striker on line

Target shot in place. Agile

Finger stroke, touch select. Smile!

A perfect strike inclined!

Pocket both red, white.



Plywood brownish yellow square

For nineteen wooden coins, centre

Motif mini full moon, red

Board framed, kajal black. Inside

Parallel lines run. Corners swallow coins.



High concentration in

Gait now and then spring

As the striker along with wooden

Disc fall in, it is double fine.

Players vie for wins.



Indoor game carom, board

Powdered slippery, make the striker spin.

Once again, it is a, single fine.

Power packed attention. Desire is more

Partnerships are agate galore.

Play could each of four. In game happy score.

Good write. I remember these from my childhood. You rarely see them over here now. I guess because they can pack 5 or 6 video games in the same space.
