Game-2, Gilli Danda Poem by VAIDYANATHAN.T. RAM

Game-2, Gilli Danda



Gilli danda,
The game created beautiful and innovative,
The game played with round stick,
One with long and other with small sharped,
The game played like a base ball,
The game played with two teams,
The game played mostly in villages,
The game played with two teams.

Gilli danda,
One team hitting the small stick which is said to be Gilli,
Using the big stick which is said to be danda,
While flies on airborn,
Where opposite team smacks,
One who hits the Gilli,
The farthest will win.

Gilli danda,
In the course of play,
If the Gilli is caught,
The the players who pitched with Danda,
Said to be out of game.

Gilli danda,
Said to be,
Mostly played in rural,
The game gives physicaly active,
The game origin from cricket or baseball.
