Frozen Bachpan...

Crazy cold in Delhi...and catching a glimpse of families on road struggling through that pinching , bitter winter :(



That ice candy slowly melting away,
He stands watching helpless, tied, unable to sway.

Other kids, rushing towards that bell,
This flavor, no that one, to the ice-cream uncle, they yell.

That wistful look and that sudden guilt swung,
As Maa coughed,a darker crimson than candy,from her lungs.

Candy still melting,but something just froze,deep,very deep,
Wept a little,consoled maa,shooed away his bachpan,forced it to sleep.
