Time changes and so do us. There were quondam times when kids had time for some fun-and-frolic in the indoor games where…
The clinking jingles of Dayakattai,
reverberates the happiness when you get another chance to roll…
![[Tamil]: Dhaya Kattai](https://kalyanb4u.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/csb_1.jpg)
The mind wrenching anxiety to get three in row,
in an enthralling game of tic-tac and toe!
Paramapadam pulls you up and pushes you down,
for the ultimate battle to heir the crown!
![[Tamil]: Paramapatham](https://kalyanb4u.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/csb_3.jpg)
Pallanguzhi; The chozhis that dispense across the cavity,
in an anticipation to clear the pit full of anxiety!
![[Tamil]: Pallaanguzhi](https://kalyanb4u.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/csb_4.jpg)
The labyrinth that leaves you lost, if the path is not found,
with the balls swirling in round and round and round!
Such bliss would not appease the heart,
even when your kids swipe the screen at start,
where does the future of games shine?
When contemporary raged birds hitting on those swine! 😉
PS: Dayakattai: Indian Dice; Chozhi: Mini Sea Shells; Pallanguzhi: Traditional Mancala game from south India; Paramapadam: Snakes and ladders.
