My musings over the beautiful wet ride (cycling) yesterday evening from work. God after a busy day of playing dice sat on his couch with snacks on the tray and heavenly vice, shoulders lazily slouched. Fingers on lamp switch continuously twitch on off, on off.

A street seller is busy setting up cloth store on the pavement An old man sleeps peacefully on the bench under Gulmohar tree Young blood rev their bike to race when light turns green Sleeping dog opens eyes lazily when honks blare and fumes spew Young lovers hugging on the park bench unmindful of traffic School kids wait for school bus shoulder bent with heavy backpack Typical sights on the Indian road as I cycle…
