the road a dumpster???

Driving along on a pleasant evening
Looking out at an empty road
A rare sight, not often seen!

Out comes flying a bottle into my vision
Looking around for a spaceship
All I detect is a Lancer!

To people in the car I venture to ask
The originator of the rubbish
And set them to task

Unrepentant, incomprehensible looks
I get greeted with!
Utter silence I am left with!

Then I watch another scenario unfold!
The driver’s side window
Comes swooshing down

An apology is what I am all set for!
I see rubbish flying out again
The road before…the divider then!

Who made me laugh, who understood and noticed small details that would fool everyone else.    The man did love the winter light     Jotting down a list of things (in no particular order), that I miss about him - His hands - the man had the most beautiful hands that I have seen till date. Long artistic fingers that bore truth to his love for working with them - be it the sourdoughs that he learnt via YouTube or his leather work or the ferments or the photography or the hand-crafted diaries or his cooking. - That broken tooth in the fron...

Do you believe?

One of those days, when there was nothing much to do…or maybe there was and I just didn’t feel like it… An extended coffee break with colleagues went into interesting areas of conversation…interesting to some…controversial to some…beliefs and principles…. A colleague had just come back from the Transport Office where she had gone for a learner’s test…as she had been in the U.S. inevitable comparisons were made between the US and the Indian system… The red-tapism (a very Indian phrase mind you!) just gets to some people…but then there are believers like me…who believe that we can make it happen…we can make this system work…it just needs our time and some patience… I admit entering any government office earlier would make you feel like that you have entered a claustrophobic cubbyhole...yes I do emphasis it as a thing of the past…coz things are changing…maybe not with supersonic speed…but they definitely are… There are offices where the employees smile at you and wish you a cheerful good...
