The Journey
Begins
On yet another
Lovely Day.
Non-stop laughter
Bountiful chatter
Ipods, Iphones, BBs
Are the saving grace
That helps to be in touch
In the human race
Lenova
Avia
Dell
HP
Laptops galore
Lunch boxes
become secondary
preferences.
Discussions
Conversations
Arguments
About Lotus and other soft things.
Lemon
Rose
Jasmine
Perfumes mix to give a
Heady feeling.
Jeans + short top
Jeans + kurti
With a flailing tiny scarf.
Kurtis with salwar
Kurtis with chudi tights
With chunnis longer than the person.
Its the colors
That catch the eye
And of course
The make-up
Are they out for a movie shoot ???
Or out to party ???
The eyes that keep glancing
At the watch,
Every 5 mins,
Makes one think
That there’s something
Really important
Happening here.
9.30am
The train halts.
Its the famous station
Called the Tidel Park.
Suddenly the laughter dies
The chatter stops
The phones are out
All discussions come to a halt
The perfumes fade
The colors get down
For their station has come…
The joy belongs to the
Tidel Park now….
Its a boring journey for the train, from now….
The people suddenly find them
Staring at each other.
