Big Trouble in Little Neighborhood

Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang
ਗਵਾਂਢੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਢੋਲ ਵਜਦਾ 
ਖਿੜਕੀਆਂ ਕੰਬਣ 
ਦਰ ਕੰਬਣ 
ਕੰਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਪਰਦੇ ਕੰਬਣ 
ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਖੂਬ ਕੰਬਣ 
ਡੁਗ ਡੁਗ !
ਡੁਗ ਡੁਗ ਡੁਗ !
Don't mind ... more Bang Bang

Sorry about the unappetizing poetry. My neighbors are celebrating the newborn’s Lohri, a Punjabi festival that marks the end of winter. Unlike my poetry, the Lohri festival is rather appetizing, with lots of peanuts and sesame sweets passed around while sitting around a bonfire.

… and Bang Bang goes deep into the night, trying its best to chase the winters away. I do hope they are successful because the cold weather is getting to the bones.
