ODE TO THE HAWKERS..


About a kind of people, iam out to write
who,during one's journey, gets to sight.
In our country, for us, it may look very typical
especially when we take a train to places, travel.



Their intention is to somehow sell their ware

even if there is a mountain ahead, they dont care.
With great finesse, they squeeze in and out
and about what they have, they manage to shout.


To everyone around, they manage to respond and tell
and with efficiency, their 'maal', they manage to sell.
Even if their are others, like them, pitching the same
few somehow gain the upperhand in this game.

Sometimes they turn out to be a real pain
as efforts to shoo them would result in vain.
They would stick on to us like a leech
as though in persistence, a lesson, they are out to teach.

Enroute my jaunt, this is what, i was out to think
and together my ideas, thought that i must ink
so that whatever comes out from my mind
people would read it as they are kind!!
