A Gleam, Of Green, And Grass



Two cities


One in the west one extreme east


A few good men lonely in a big city


Until they met each other.


Then came a gushing stream,


Of youth, euphoria and ecstasy


Life showed its colours,


But they had their own


They painted their life


In graffiti full of shades


Blue to red


Yellow to Fluoroscent


Orange was an invention


Shiv Sena to halogen


As the smoke choked their nerves


To arouse their senses


They wanted to build a Metro tunnel


From Bandra to Park Sreet to the hotels


From Lucky to Peiping


Bacardi glasses from Totos to Olypub


Swaying to the tunes at Hawaiian Shack


Banging the heads off at Some place Else


On the night of Christmas and the jingling of bells


The dream lingers still


The thoughts, fresh as morning dew


The story continues, of Kau, Pachu, Piku


Bhuto, Shonku and Diu.


And a lot of men, good and few.
