Walks of life

As I walk, I see.

Moth-eaten curtains. 
Cobwebbed balconies. 
Twin girls in similar colored dresses.

Splashes in the pool.
The evaporating Jakkur lake beyond.
The pregnant lady on the phone speaking to her beloved.

The setting sun.
The long shadows gets longer. Playing hide and seek.
A motor car swerves by my side and parks itself.

Azure skies turn purple.
Few children scream, run, and hide around.
With each passing round.

She walks afar as we talk.

Secrets, giggles, observations, gossips.
Friendships, events, fears, loves.
Missed calls and calls missed.

And amidst the humidity and heat,
Kisses, and sweet nothings.
I circumambulate her.
