I witness My first Mumbai monsoon: And I remember Words of Anita Desai; My first memory Of anything Related to Mumbai rains. During the rains: Hari’s stint in Mumbai, The apathy of being drenched Again and again; And remain indoor Inhaling soot Within Sri Krishna Bhojnalaya. During the rains: Mr. Panwallah, the watchmaker Who suffered bronchitis, But never complained. During the rains Jagu, whose family lived in slums, And water clogged their huts But still empathized with his employee. True Mumbai snob, And true Mumbai spirit. I reflect upon myself To see My greedy, dissatisfied self - One who runs and runs; Has everything He craved for But still craves for more. June 2016
I move through Fringed avenue Everyday with Gloom anew.. This avenue is one I built with relish This dream was one i caressed and wished Oh! I believed It'd never shatter Oh! I trusted Myself,more than it matter. Its all broken Its all lost And that what haunts me Is the ghost Of This fringed avenue! I move through This fringed avenue Everyday with Gloom anew. I had always wanted To walk this avenue I had wanted to be Accompanied by you. Oh but,my dreams were, How untrue what fate did hold I had no clue I move through This fringed avenue Everyday with Gloom anew Oh I move through This fringed avenue Everytime with Gloom anew. dated:15th may,2008
