Adda Nights in Bangalore
Laughter and dosas warm old friends, but dystopia's chilling shadow truly deepens their shared sorrow.
December 1, 2021
Friends from a long way
Both distance and years
Much to catch up on
Dosas mingle with laughter
A rainbow elicits wonder
We swop hows, wheres
Dystopia stalks the pauses
Settling down like an unwanted visitor
The chill of a curfewed land, in our minds
How many furrows
Have these few years made
How many more will cleave us
Yet we need these visits
Rare séances with the kindred few.
At least, a shared sorrow, remains our own
