A city in the making...eternally

The endearing honks,
The F1 quality cabbies,
Action all around,
Filled with dynamic inertia

Six directions of traffic,
On a two lane road,
Survival of the fittest
Victory for the meanest

Rising from the greens,
Concrete crass in the name
Of civilization and progress
An immature city in its teens

Masses flock here
To make a living
In this focused quest
We forget to make a life

The heart is binary
The heart is intuitive
The heart is unadulterated
Listen to it, Listen to it.

    You are right its in its teens, just wait till it gets to the 20s and the worst case scenario is 7 years :) I am willing to wait, coz thatas where i call HOME.

  2. Hi Arun
    A gentle breeze would visit your face
    Soft sunlight would bathe your soul,
    Scattered with single storeyed terrace,
    With no threatening buildings tall-
    This was my Home three decades ago.
    What monsters you have made of our GARDEN City - YOU IT Guys
