In the heavy downpour
walking down to the railway station
she like a ‘drenched bird’ flew in from nowhere
and took refuge under his umbrella.
Neither did he ask her
whereabouts nor did she
ask him anything.
Under the umbrella
both of them walked along
without each uttering anything to the other.
The city of Mumbai
in the monsoon season
gets drenched and evolves into a sensuous lady
bringing people closer and closer.
In the city of
thefts and heists
violence and murders
accidents and casualties
pick-pockets and under-world
how come two strange people
come together
stick together
under one umbrella
in the monsoon season?
On reaching the station
with no thanks the drenched
lady bird vanished nowhere
and he entered the platform
folding the umbrella.
This closeness is a monsoon
phenomena exclusively for Mumbai……
