Top Inn

(Top Inn is an Irani Cafe-cum-eatery in Hyderabad)

Rosewood colored tea
Lands with a thud

The new boy's interpretation
Of my Medium Kadak

------

2 nos. Yellow
3 nos. Red
2 nos. Off-White
All lined up in beer mugs

Rajasthani ethic
Serving juice
To confused Hyderabad

------

In the awe-struck gaze
Of the 8-year old
The resolve to be
A future smoker

------

Bat-wielding boys
Storm in to plunder
The afternoon's water supply
And argue simultaneously
The umpire's decision

------

Meridian School Bus
Cramps the single lane

But everything quietens
And everyone fixes

As she springs out with a smirk
This buxom 8-year old Woman

------

Chennai Masala Dosa
Hampshire Cream Bun
Surati Chaat
Chinese Manchurian

Dining Hall devours
World Kitchen's vomit

------

Daily gym-mates
Reunite with high-fives
Admiring each other's
Maa ke Loudeys

------

Phone rings always
With deadlines and disputes
But I hang in here
At the edge of my seat no. 1

------

Water truck has arrived
The oldest boy orders us
To clear out bikes
Relishing his moment under the sun

------

The rampant Fan
Circulates smoke
As well as Rafi
