Blessings in Disguise

 Four clever kids a toddler follows every footstep

Prank you outside the neighbourhood temple
Laughter all around, good bye bhaiya for half a km

The clichéd leaf or flower falling
In your lap while you stroll somewhere
In the city

A kind word in the sea of anonymous crowd
A bus ride conversation a long time ago
That flowed freely out of nowhere







The vertical rainbow at sunrise
Cooped up in an airplane coach
Right now

Even the jiggling derriere in front
Along the canal the other day

Who asked for all these riches?
