Rickshaw-wala
Improvised photograph of a rickshaw driver taking a break from harsh sun on a Kolkata street-one of many Indianas (not the state in USA).
It reminds me of an amusing old song from movie 'Chhoti Bahen'.
'Wala' can be interpreted either as owner or operator.

Synagogue-Calcutta
A snippet of Magen David Synagogue. Even though the colors have faded and moss has made it shome, the arches leading up to stairs have retained their filigree work. I breathed in the musty air of antiquity when I visited it last year.
It is situated at the cross roads of Canning Street and Brabourne Road, Calcutta, India. While I lived exactly at that crossing between mid fifties and mid sixties of twentieth century I had no knowledge of it existence. Fie!

Buckingham Palace-Miniaturized
On our recent visit to the tourist attraction of House on the Rock, Wisconsin, I clicked on miniaturized version of Buckingham Palace. It was a pure delight to walk through the miniature houses exhibit.

A break to myself I need to give
A reprieve from myself I need to take
The rescue from my obsession thine
Lies perennial in rest of mine

Rishi
During recent visit from my family members........
 |
| Rishi After Playtime |
Rishi's Trust
Without parents by his side
And hesitation none in sight
He grabbed my finger fore
Saying take me to a park
To swing and to slide
And to play seek and hide
Less than mere four in age
Tad more than three in height
He looked towering from ground up
To my melted puddle self
Which I so turned
From his unambiguous trust
That coursed through my being
As he held my finger
With his gentle fervor

Rishi's Confidence
Tiny tyke knows his cars
by mere sight. Smart!
On the way to playground
looking down at his steps
tete-a-tete he began
with himself.
I was neither privy
nor had brains to grasp
his Greek and Latin!
To distract, at birds
I pointed overhead
would you like to fly, I asked
yes, he replied.
I asked him to listen.
Did you hear a crow caw?
Yes, he says.
Can you recognize birds
by their calls; I wanted to teach.
Yes, I do; came reply, instead.
How do you know that?
I played curious
He stopped, furrowed his forehead
looked up at me
and replied condescendingly,
I know many things, Masi!
I found myself dumbfound!
