I sweat I fret I struggle I earn
Staring at your luxury I yearn
Gods must have been very partial
Why am I at distress and his denial?
PS: During a recent trip to Kerala, we stopped over at a village for a cup of early morning tea. A church, nearby, caught my attention and I started clicking some photographs. Four elderly women were cleaning the streets next to the church. One of them asked me to take their photos, in Malayalam, which I eventually understood. This poem is dedicated to her.
That's a superb portrait.

DeleteI have often wondered about the inequities handed out by God... perhaps they are a challenge to the less privileged. The point is, what did God have in mind when he handed out privileges to jerks (like Sanjiv Nanda)!?
ReplyDeleteGod to be blamed or is it people like Sanjiv Nanda misusing the prvileges SG?
DeleteMore ironic is these people walk out of punishments. Great Indian Judiciary.
