WHEN SRINAGAR BECOMES T.NAGAR………….

Rising from sleep to end the online class,

I went to sleep after dinner 

With hopes of changing things,

I started moving in my dream

But really away from reality.

 

When thoughts moving round,

the corners started thinking right.

With climate as cold in Kashmir,

I was just sweating a lot like

standing in the crowd of T Nagar

When summer capital becomes summer’s capital,

Radicals too come with family for shopping.

Military too mingle with the crowd just to watch

As they only have weapons in hand to

Protect everyone including radicals.

 

Silent places would experience noise

Empty streets would have people

Visitors too forget fear and budget

Everyone becomes a grass from top

With many grasses waiting for people

 

Visitorless gardens too along with

Less filed boats in the shore

Of the bloodless smiling rivers

Like to visit that untidy

Place with less air for visitors.

With sweaters and blankets in demand,

Entry and exit are the patient tasks.

Bills too get stamped by legs and seal

People might lose some offers

For now and not their own life.
