"You must go through a taxi"

"A shaw rather"

So, I crossed the road

to get a cheaper one

on a raised bus stand

"Idiot! a shaw won't

collect reserved"


Waiting for long

she caught one for me

Sending it to another end

He smiled, satisfied

"Where?"

"Spring Valley"

He nodded and raced his

shaw down the Citylight Road


Me perplexed

"You know where that is?"

"No, you guide"


Travelling together for a while

Broke the silence me

"You know ChinaGate?"

A couple of jokes and giggles

were exchanged

on ChinaGate being in India


later he said

"Kidding! I went to ChinaGate

Today,

oh! or was it Yday

umm, maybe it was parso"

Me contemplating on his 1/3 80 years
