Today I got up a bit early(around 7:30) and was in one of those rare good moods.With the toothbrush stuck in my mouth, I walked daintily to the window to enjoy the early morning scene.Oh, what a sight it was!! Wordsworth's words sprang to my mind..
'Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance"
Yes,I saw ten thousand stray dogs, not dancing but fighting , barking and chasing the dirty goats chewing polythene in the early morning sun, blissfully oblivious to the house flies circling them and the sewage gushing out from a nearby pipe.Not to mention men clad in filthy lungis smoking beedis, scratching their chins and sipping chai from deformed steel cups , satisfied with the way their lives have gone so far..And women chewing and spitting paan on the road without an iota of remorse, and vendors dumping the discards of the previous day and children relieving themselves giggling at each other and corporation garbage collector spilling more and collecting less and eeks..I could not look on further.
And you were wondering why I could not enjoy landscapes and churn out wonderful poems!!!!
