Enroute..

Buffalo soldiers of Indian kind
For a life, in the decadent city …
That child with a broken leg
Runs to get that expectant half rupee …
I look around, for hope
But hopelessness is all I see …

And then it happens: The light, the signal and the movement …

There is wind in my hair
And this song in my ear …
All the worries a minute ago
Seem to kind of disappear …
Things are so beautiful, full of life and cheer
Why would anyone complain of despair …

For I have just moved out of a traffic jam, my dear …

And what if you were in there a lil longer,
may be the urge wda been a lil stronger
to jump out and chuck it all,
To respond to a beggar's call,
to zoom in a bylane,
to discover a new market insane..

ha ha just playing along.. sorry if I just got carried away...fun market yours! nice reading!

Goes to show what life is - a surprising mix of the heavy and the trivial :)

Ram, I am fascinated by your poetic thoughts. I never knew there was a poet hidden in you during the college days.

Are you saying that 'Life is just a sum total of contrasting emotions' or that we miss the big picture in life in search of trivial pursuits
