At times, I just watch people
Like now - I see a pregnant woman
I think, what she must be thinking
Maybe - ' whether it's a boy or a girl'.
Crossing the Christmas Tree
I see an old man talking to his wife
In so many years of togetherness -
he still finds her benign.
As I sip my red velvet latte
My eyes fall on a couple
Both are sharing the same table -
yet conversing through their mobiles.
Eavesdropping upon the conversation
A daughter tells to her father
The best new year gift for her -
if he stops smoking forever!
I stop looking around for a while
And I close my eyes to realise
There is a world inside me -
that the adversity just hypnotized!

My observations when I was on a break from work and wrting. So many things around me to be observed and captured in words. Happy New Year 2017!
