The City That Sleeps

Today I saw,
travellers caught in an endless
void,
partners who could not partners be,
children who could not children be,
I saw their mental machinery.

I saw, or thought I saw
battlescars etched on the visibly
happy faces of sad children
and the lonely men and women of the world,
some who smiled only at graphic acts
of surreptitious pleasure,
and others who smiled only at the pink graphics on
accessorised, sexed-up cell phones

Wn wl u cm bk?

Hi,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Sappho's Diamonds’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
Ray
