My House

Author: Rukmini Banerji

2/16
I live here with my whole family.
Main yahan apne pure parivar ke sath rahti hun.

3/16
We remove our shoes and slippers here.
Ham apne jute aur chappal yahan utarte hain.

4/16
We wash our hands-face here.
Yahan ham apne hath-muh dhote hain.

5/16
I hang my clothes on the hook.
Main apne kapre khunti par tangti hun.

6/16
My grandfather put his stick in the corner.
Mere dada ji apni chadi kone me rakhte hain.

7/16
We keep our carpets also there.
Ham apni chataiyan bhi vahin rakhte hain.

8/16
My father keeps his motorcycle outside.
Mere pitaji apni motorcycle bahar rakhte hain

9/16
But his halmet lies over the almirah.
Lekin unka halmet almari ke upar rahta hai.

10/16
My mother and grandmother keep their sarees in the trunk.
Meri ma aur dadi apni sadiyan bakse me rakhti hain.

11/16
Delicious food is cooked in the kitchen.
Swadisht khana rasoighar me pakta hai.

12/16
When it gets cold we take out our quilts.
Jab thand padti hai to ham apni rajaiyan nikaal lete hain.

13/16
When it gets hot then we switch a fan on.
Jab garmi padti hai to ham ek pankha chala lete hain.

14/16
We take out chairs when special guests come to us.
Jab hamare yahan khas mehmaan aate hain to ham kursiyan nikaal lete
hain.

15/16
Do come to my house to meet me. Come early.
Tum mere ghar jarur aana, mujhse milne. Jaldi aana.
