Summers:
Thread-like stream;
Dry bed,
Trodden current,
Fragmented land..

Monsoons:
Python born,
Belching streams,
Eating up surroundings,
Wreathing havoc..

Very similar,
To anthros' behaviour!!

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
