Why do you go, dear brother Rajubhai, to the last part in the middle of it?
Enjoy the whole year!

How interesting, Gabi. I had no idea! Your haiku has a lot more meaning for me as a result of your prose.

Do I see a haibun in the making? Very interesting. Is there a purification ceremony, too?

Hi Gabi
thank you for teaching me about your culture. This haiku brought a smile from the smile of your healthy husband.

Great news about your husband, Gabi.
Even in ignorance of the custom, your ku will resonate with many men of a certain age--and, one hopes, with their spouses.
