The sodium bulbs
And their incandescent glow
Light the tall metalwork
That obstructs my vision

It used to be green once
And dark at nights
And quiet enough
To hear lizards walking

Doesn't it feel nice
To think on a tiled floor?
It was a bit eerie then
To hear echoes in an empty room.

The weekend drill
Goes through my brain
And I feel helpless like a frog
Anesthetized on a wax tray

For the so mediocre
In so many numbers
More cubicles
More bogs

I always love the imagery that you create. And in this one I'm totally bowled over. Yet again. Brilliant Sim.

I guess there's a typo in 2nd para. Quiet it should be , Isn't it?

And I feel helpless like a frog

This one's ironically LOL.

And as it made sense to me, I come in the latter..? Haww..!! :(
One suggestion: Avoid putting such "Gotcha PS's". :P

@ anubhav: ;D yeah. i wanted insti people to have a laugh.
i just want to censor the word hostels in your comment. :)

@ Tulika: honestly, that was not a typo. i didn't know the spelling. oops. thanks for pointing out.

i will avoid the ps's Dunno i always feel like dropping bread crumbs. yeah it sort of limits the view point. ok. i m removing this one too. you had actually asked me not to do this before also.

and thanks for all the wonderful things you said. it feels so happy now. wow. thanks. :)
