Inside the air-conditioned restaurant 
in the dim privacy of the cabin  
sitting across a table 
over a cup of hot tea 
she was lamenting about
the thin line dividing us 
getting thicker and thicker 
wider and wider 
with the fall of each day 
at a moment we dream about 
a world where thin lines get blurred  
be it relationship between man and man
man and woman 
nation and nation 
instead of them turning thicker and thicker 
wider and wider 
for which I couldn’t give 
her a satisfying answer and kept mum 
for minutes.
later deflecting the issue…..
which made her eyes tearful
and face falling under a pall of gloom
like a flower turning pale 
with the fall of darkness……
