Shanghai Roads

The roads of Shanghai

 With the studied approach of Europe

 The four lane expanse of USA

The vibrancy which is its own

The Change and  busyness that is life here

With genuine hospitality

And  only language as the barrier

There is always a way

But perhaps no answer for every what and why

That’s Shanghai

(Perhaps resonates with a Mumbaikar the most)

Lights-Diwali Everyday

Lights

There are lights shimmering everywhere outside

So let the lights shine from within

The light of clarity

The light of positivity

That shines bright

Even at times putting up a fight

Knows now how to shine brightly come rain or storm

The light of good counsel and wisdom

The light that leads you to the right path

The many shimmering lights within as you go along the way

 And then Diwali -the Festival of Lights falls everyday
