Malleswaram Station


By My Experiments With Food (Visit website)



Like three gargantuan umbrellas, the rain trees protected
The Station
From the searing April heat.
I sat on a bench by the solitary rail track
Let the gentle breeze dance on my cheeks
Closed my eyes; tranquility.
Heaven.


I lost track of time, as I normally do at
The Station.
The soporific setting broke when
A sleeping stray woke
With a shrill, drowsy howl and
Much to my annoyance broke my
Meditation.





It was tiny, a solitary building
The Station.
It is safe to say there was a scarcity
Of trains
Of people.
A train arrived
It was 4pm; surely the Bangalore-Salem
Express.

Dusk fell. Temple bells chimed outside
The Station
'Anytime now', I thought.
Then suddenly a train approached
With increasing ferocity and in a flash
The Rajdhani Express was gone. To Delhi.I felt
Inconspicuous.

That was my cue to move out of
The Station,
To soothe my broken heart with that plate
Of steaming idlis; and khara bhaath
At Sri Raghavendra Stores.
The Old Man Raghu served me
Spicy chutney
And welcomed me back into the world
Smiling.
