Urban India-1

India or America, it is true in every country,
People wake up in the morning, in a hurry;
Grab a quick breakfast, for it is time  to exit fast,
Where no one in the street wants to be last!

Get to work, grab a coffee,
Look forward to the day being sweet as toffee;
End up in meetings, and what’s the catch?
Everyone’s busy, looking at the watch.

Before you realize, it’s time for lunch,
Hunger pangs remind you, of the morning crunch;
You dream of a day that’s more relaxed,
Coming back to reality, you realize how much you are taxed.

It’s late afternoon, you want to get something done,
And you realize, tasks are by the dozen;
You plough through the maze,
By the time you are done, it is time to gaze!

It’s a beautiful night, the stars are shining bright,
And the city is well alive and alight;
The drive home is less stressful,
And soon after, you end up with a tummy that is too full.

You get to bed, hoping tomorrow’s better,
For it is the hope that is dear;
Wishing your family sweet dreams,
You get lost in your own dreams.

    very true .. no sense of meaning .. just an endless stream of flashing images everyday .. very nice ..

    yes indeed; within the course of the day it seems like there is a lot of purpose. However when we step back and take a big picture view, it all seems mundane. Not to sound philosophical but I am still looking at the thing that defines contentment in the urban living of today as compared to the rural lifestyle, or the yesteryear urban city?
