Ku on the theme of dreams

 cliffhanger

I hope for yesterday’s

dream again


in the window

what do you dream of

mynah eyes


evening breeze

stooping to pick up

I’ve never explored


divorce court all that that never was


glass facade

all the blue skies

trapped within

The sole policeman visible, young and unarmed, is ostensibly guarding the ladies' first class. The rather bright lights are a change though, but they seem to make the place seem a wee bit less crowded. Seem. There are people sitting on the platform, waiting for their trains. Many in their Sunday best. Popcorn-sellers, peanut-sellers, kulfi-sellers are trying to get me to shed some money towards them, even as I wait for the samosa-seller. yellow leaves the old woman sweeps up yesterday It's getting on eight (time for the Titwala Fast to leave), and last-minute boarders are jumping in.
