A Madras evening - LMS

Incredibly beautiful blue sky day... Parrots gliding over the roof... Spring flowers of mango and konrai in bloom... promising a glorious summer...


Streaking through buildings and cellphone towers, the evening sun showcases the thousand shades of green on the leaves of the trees it highlights

Quietly, a million cups of tea and coffee are brewed and sipped, in appreciative meditation, for now ignoring the cacophony of calumny and acrimony that will soon rise in a thousand TV channels

A distant two wheeler engine roars gently through the mostly silent streets, punctuated by the cawing of crows, chirping of other birds, and the chatter of untiring boys playing street cricket

  1. Only few areas left in Chennai to appreciate this tranquility. Am also lucky to still have this right outside my window!

    Mostly the sun only reflects off concrete & glass & birds are unheard of now.

  2. Reminded me of Wordsworth's "Composed upon Westminster bridge, September 3, 1802".
