Diaspora

Diaspora



Kitchen sink sparkling
Tap tops and cook tops  stain-free
Vaccum cleaned
Each and every corner.
Garbage bags in the Trash cans.

Cold wind blowing
Window curtains dancing
Longingly
Sky grey.

Taking out my vibrant 
cushion covers
From back home last Diwali!
Looking down the  street
all alone
Dim lit, quiet, deserted

I start searching Google
for the restaurant
Serving Indian food
In the neighbourhood.

I usually write in my mother tongue Gujarati and sometimes in Hindi and English. Nehal’s world is at the crossroads of my inner and outer worlds, hope you like the journey…
