Veranda Vantage

 Sitting in the Veranda 

The rain came but the water at home didn’t 

The gardener came and dropped a vine of Giloy herb

The newspaper brought more news of mismanagement, dismay and  grief

The aircrafts sound like a thunderstorm and brake as they get to their destination sooner

The crows coo caw and rattle with different sounds

No need to water the plants as it has rained

A skinny young delivery boy rides a bycycle with  a deflated tyre

Amidst sips of ginger tea I glint at the floor to make sense of things I see hear and feel

Things have to be bought, menus have to be planned, problems have to be solved.

Souls have to be assuaged including mine 

Morales have to be built but first  mine...

Till then I enjoy the pre pre monsoon breeze and coolness on the skin...
