The Motel.

   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.
