I sat there, on the boulder
Watching the life whiz past by
I saw the rising sky line of the city
And the standstill Ulsoor lake
I saw children playing gully cricket
I watched the yellow balloon up in the sky
And the madding rush of vehicles from MG road
The street Romeo on his loud two stroker
The business tycoon wafting in his Mercedes
The fearsome army trucks
The autos trudging away with heavy burden of weights
The gray overcast sky
The giggles of kids returning from school
I saw the dog and the lady rummaging through the garbage bin,
One for food and one scavenging used plastic
I saw the happy middle aged couple
Happy in each others company, oblivious to world around them
I sat there with no hurry,
Enjoying the breeze and watching the life whiz past by

Your post reminded me of the poem "Leisure".
Have you read it?
:) nice!
the mention of ulsoor lake, always brings the image of the gurudwara there, to my mind.
Reading your poem actually gave me a very relaxed feeling.. Nice one :)

I agree with Solitaire.

*standstill ulsoor lake...so true...
sometimes it feels good to sit back and just watch...and be amazed at the multitude of things you actually see...
