My Home

a poem by Gummadapu Narasimha Rao

My Home reflects the perfect habitation science
North-East well, South-East kitchen gift peace,
South-West bedroom, North-West toilets great
North-East water flow, South-West trees acquit.

East faced threshold tips, apt health and wealth
Tender sunrays fetch delighted bath of warmth,
Next best West bound prime entry gate descent
Eve Sunset beams drive out flies alike hygienist.

North side main door third choice of home laws
Parallel magnetic pulses rectify, of health flaws,
South entrance never, but a few aim cute effects
Hitting mid-day heat and mid-night cold affects.

Right angled basement and compound absolute
To South-West and North-West angles discreet,
Ten degrees add to North-East, targets art elite
Paths of East, North best, West next, South last.

In premises more space on East and North éclat
Zenith erections, on South and West too twilight,
Doors-windows-cupboards not zeros or eighteen
Home laws dip in solace the men of faith esteem.

The Science of Habitation is known as Vaastu in India and it is developed mainly on numerical data of eras and also on certain scientific observations, so as an ideal house should have main entrances on east, north and west sides as good, better and best respectively and south side just as last, still the well, kitchen, bedrooms, toilets at specifics places and the umber of doors, windows and cupboards must be of definite number.
