On my way to work....

Posted on Nov 28th, 2007 by Vijay : The Connector Vijay
These are some of my thoughts, experiences in the form of Haiku, on my way to work.  It takes about an hour one way.  These obviously don't follow the 5-7-5 rule :-(

I'm dedicating this post to Anna Dani, who taught me to see positive things, however small, even in seemingly difficult situations.  Thank you so much, Anna.

In the bus (1)

I smell their breath
and they, mine;
Jampacked.

In the bus (2)

He yells; She yells;
They all yell;
Chaos.

Chennai city corp

Dig them; then close them;
Aaah, finished?
Line one, again.

Note:  Chennai is the name of my city, and my city corporation is funny.  They dig holes apparently for no reason, sometimes on very busy roads :-)

Nothing personal, just business

24 hour hospital
Please fall sick,
we need business :-)

Kid on the road

I wave to her,
she waves back.
sweet innocence.

I love reading your haikus,  thanks for these - each has its own atmosphere - they definitely make me feel like I was also sitting on the bus - no need to go to Chennai any more - it feels as if I have been there already :-)

Thanks for the dedication - hmmm - not sure if I deserve it …. but happy if I manage to give some tips to others through writing about my own experiences.
