Teens On Shravan Monday

So many of them barefoot and merry striding through the unholy muck on the ghats at dawn.
It isn’t that the new dustbins have overflowed: they are mere appendages to a smart city whose time has been coming since the inception of time.
More of the boys are in the murky water splashing within red barriers that keep them from colliding with boats or being carried off.
Not that such things are to be feared: the boats are slow these waters can only drown misdeeds and this is an auspicious month with fasts to be observed precociously.
What of hunger? Nothing requires smart phones to be given up. Here is music and there are selfies arms resting on shoulders nineteen to the dozen strong.
