The Autorickshawman
The autorickshawman honked his way out of the traffic
Watch out for a piece of his foot to know how he turns.
The Sardar’s truck
With Tata O.K. the truck sported literature on its behind
And carried a dire warning not to kiss its quarters hind.
Fuel-efficiency
Cyclist Velappan crawled through the railway crossing
Holding the cycle above the gate
The tempo driver cursed his luck
His engine had to splutter for full five minutes .
The Old Pull-cart Man Of Kolkata
The old pullcart man
Smoked away all his bidis in the Chowringhee jam
With nothing left for the Kalighat jam.
The water tankers of Chennai
Speeding water tankers knock down
One pedestrian per trip
They get paid on number of trips per day.
On a rainy day
On a rainy morning the Chennai office-goer
Reaches office just in time for the night shift.
Violence in love
An old arthritic tram at Kolkata
Molested an artistic spinster bus
Transforming her into a dimpled beauty
These are highly inspirational and ironical. Extremely entertaining, and honest
