Mumbai in August
Mumbai never sleeps.
But in rainy season it creeps.
When August sets in,
for days together, it weeps.
Disrupted are road, rail, air.
Impossible go anywhere.
With lot of water logged on,
streets are broader and clear.
Commuter’s morning begin
by getting ready with their tiffin
But they can't reach to work as
water on rail tracks, wheels within.
Announcement on the station,
train is listed for cancellation.
For the day commuter is jobless,
gets no alternate solution.
train is listed for cancellation.
For the day commuter is jobless,
gets no alternate solution.
But it’s joy for the children
At their doorstep comes the ocean.
in their own creek, they make fun.
