Jungle feasts

It's a day of celebration, 

let's make it a special occasion,

with friends, families or colleagues, 

we would plan a get together.

Where the ground is spacious, 

we were more closer to nature,

having a spread of splendid feast,

beneath the canopy covers. 

Bringing tents, bamboos, woven mats,

along with the ingredients and utensils,

either cooking gas or traditional woods,

create an ambience and exotic flavors. 

Fresh fruits and vegetables from morning,

also includes mushrooms and paneer,

we might as well splurge a little,

with local meats and alcohol. 

As the preparations were made,

music and dance were on the sets,

people keep coming, some go exploring, 

to different routes for some adventures.

It might be a pond, with floating ducks,

or the beauty of pristine waterfall,

a public park or nature's garden,

or just a nearby hills with temple. 

Once all the participants gather,

with friends and families together,

we chat, we play, dance and sing,

as our plates were filled with starters.

And chaos descend, as juniors lunge,

while the older ones, take some bite,

some find corners, for their booze,

away from the innocents and sobers. 

Another round of party starts,

everyone had a smile and laugh,

enjoying the moments of fun,

while imbibing the rustic terrains.

All that workout makes all hungry,

finally the lunch too was ready,

we make a queue with paper plates,

to be served some delicious meal. 

With beverages and sweet dishes,

we wished each other happiness, 

be it a festival, or new year greetings,

it was a opportunity to renew connections. 

Jungle feasts, it's a norm,

celebration of life, with gratitude, 

but, tread with mindful steps,

don't leave wastes, in sacred ground. 

For, it's a collective responsibility...

To keep it clean and welcoming, for everyone.
