We reach Lonavala. Enter the Mafia — the regulars. We are graced with two. The older one eyes us, wondering whether we are worthy enough for them to sit next to, which they do, facing each other. The irritation begins.

Of bus travels, Jokers and toilet breaks.

Guide for dummies – If you have an irritable bowel, dont drink a lot of water before traveling. Especially travelling in a bus. That’s air-conditioned. Going  long distance. Mumbai – Pune.

No problem – Mumbai strikes back

How my city scores one back.

The old man requested us.
That’s when we realised,
We were standing right on the street.
We stepped back onto the footpath
Turned to thank him
He had moved on,
We were strangers to him after all.

Our Stream of love.

It was an interesting conversation.
He said
It was very cold.

Casualty

Little girl wheels by prettyHer eyes shrink, Waiting in eternity Refuse to seeShe is but one more Casual….ty The waiting room of a private hospital – which I still find pricey – held nothing for me. A few oddballs – Mallu couple discussing lunch,  Sindhi housewife dissecting a blood report on mobile, a senior citizen inspecting his bill. Otherwise,

Traffic jams n teddy bears on Highway.

Big teddy bears on highway
In the midst of traffic may-day
Honk, scream beat up your rage
Or
Shut up cuddle, be a sage
So yeah buy,
Don’t ask why
Big teddy bears on highway.

Indulgence – what not to do on trip to awesome cheese cake shop.

He eyed the Salted Caramel Cheesecake
And says with the utmost conviction
If it’s mine, I shall get it
And then he hopped about praying
No one else buys it.
