Quatrains

They exchanged looks

Standing at the same playground

But they knew

The friendship was lost


One step at a time

She looked back at the door

The bag in her hand, the scar on her face

She was free


The crisp ₹2000 note in her hand

That smile on his face

Tears welling up in her eyes

She knew her boy became a man


Thousands on the station

Yet they stood motionless

Eyes fixed at each other

It was love at first sight


Friday night after office party

Going home in the car intoxicated

Breaking a signal 

A mother lost her son


They were inseparable once

Just like brothers, people said

They walk the same street as strangers now

How times have changed


Irritated and frustrated

He looked at her

Chaos turning to calm

He was a changed man
