cal-cutta

Thus Kolkata moves on with its two lives
one subsisting hand-to-mouth while the other grooves and jives
Mockery all around,plentiful,undisturbed
filth piles up the streets as on minds unabated

But something strikes a chord,call it the spirit of the city
The enlightened populace being pretty,witty and gritty !
Monuments punctuated with history dotting its landscape
Also the sweetness of Rosogulla, all leave me agape

I sense a connection here, this bond getting stronger
Pleasure I cannot fathom,wish this stay was longer
Served here,a concoction of spiritual, intellectual bliss
Hadn't I been here this 'joy' would surely be amiss
