A Journey Song

Day: 18

Prompt: a journey song

Jazz in the moonlight speeds. 

On highway driving, I steer the wheels. 

There are few vehicles 

due to being  off day. 

Music is loud with friends, I enjoy. Our favourite singer Badshah Khan’s singing

On the tune, “Kinya tareefa chahidiya…”, 

we steer towards Mount Abu. 

We imitate being drunk with soft drinks. 

We relish popcorn and puffs. During evening hours, enjoying sunset, 

our bodies move to the music 

And we dance to the tunes. 

It’s fun to drive, taking turns. 

All our friends find it fun to drive. In all this, 

we find ourselves free. 

And we think, why should boys have all the fun? 

We feel empowered, unstoppable and free. 

We are the queens of the road, 

and we own it.
