The Motel. ( Modelled on inns, with a modern tinge).
The politicised Agnostic
platform
Throbs with debates
and wranglers
Full throated public
harangues,
The acoustics tremble
of trepidation .
Here, liveried worker in the motel
Meticulously holds the
cups and dishes
For there, ekes
out a precarious
Living, sustains his
meagre earning job.
There is also the modernised
maid
Uplifted hair, a mobile
tucked up
In her sari, every now and then
Giving instructions to her daughter.
It is the doormat she shrugs
gently
While her new broom
touches the floor,
The coloured mat can
stand three weeks
Before it craves for
washing in the bucket,
Tangibly by the
entrance a cat, a puppy
Grimace at the
passes by. Hungry visitors
throng in , a
Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru
and Mother Teresa
on the wall bless the motel.
