SEMMOZHI PARK - CHENNAI



Time spent with wife and kids
No peak hour traffic, deadlines or late hours
Watch my two-year-old
move around like a clockwork doll
Present her a flower and leaf
and revel in her wonder
Throw ball to little fella
He falls flat on his face and pretends to sleep
Wife points to the trees -
to racing squirrels.
Hold hands and walk around the pond
Little ones run in front
Twilight hours
The lights go on....

Thank you Chennai!

don’t we all know 
how to live in a shell -
secretly alive...

THERAPY



Let me put you on the slope of a hill..

Green Grass Meadow
Buttercups and Daisies
Dewdrops shining like diamonds -
sparkling in morning Sunshine before
smilingly fading away with a promise to be back...

You lie there on your back,
looking at the Blue Sky,

the Sun is high

White clouds float by

and you think -
I can never ever be unhappy
among Buttercups and Daisies
in a Green Grass Meadow.
