the call for prayer from mecca and my childhood memories


azan

it used to be 8pm
and the TV in grandpas room
would telecast from mecca
the call for prayer
for last prayer
my grandpa
a tall figure
would do ablution
and get on prayer mat

images were not HD
it was TV with antennae
90 was the year
i was in kindergarten
i would play carom and chess
with my grandpa
and he would help me in home work
i am a medical doctor now
he is no more
i wish to sit with him
and listen stories ........
