Ku on the theme of "Water"

 drinking up

a mountain of ice tea

— summer heat


Holi advent…

all the colours

of the water guns


neighbour’s plants —

Amma’s acrobatics

to water them


potted plants

— we redirect or neighbour’s

A/C drip


after last rites

resealing the pot

of gangajal


summer forenoon

sparrows turn our dog’s bowl

into a bath
