the art of pausing

On the art of Pausing...

So, a few things on “Pausing to see”:

- After Monday Sabjee market, in today’s morning walk, flakes of onions dry skin suddenly sweep up to the sky, as a van passes by. Sushma – “Achanaak unko zariya mil gaya udnae ka” (Sudden the opportunity to raise).

- Uber share goes to Khan market rather than CP (to drop someone else first). After the U-turn, right next to Asia’s richest market, by the pavement tree – in a small hole- one squirrel emerges and then another (view from my backseat).

- By a neem tree, while walking back home, in the midday heat, you look up and notice the underbelly of a small chidiya (bird) – all plain and she looking up somewhere.

- At the 8 pm Metro, a guy sitting on the steel sitting – facing opposite side, I sat and said “Peela Gulaab” and he said “sorry?”; I said “that’s what the code waord was when Madan puri bartered smuggling in 70s movies”. We both had a laugh (this happened).

- In the park, a Dog had one ear flap up and one down. Will someone teach him the ways of the rational world please?Jesus!!

- By the park are residential apartments with big perimeter walls. A dog sitting and looking up the wall – at a blank space – the cat on the wall is atleast 5 meters to the right. What is he looking at?

- Drying autumn eaves swirl and slowly fall on spider webs.
