Laetare Sunday
Head for the sea
Mangalore tiles
Aquamarine.
Waris serves mutton biryani
At Kava by the pool.
The guddi atop the bungalow
heralds the new year,
A young boy cycles
in football gear,
Cana Benaulim
Silence at 3.
Southern Deck
where the lads get wasted.
The Live Music Project
Andorra at Silva's.
The day winds down
to the Champa tree
Lamps at twilight
It's time to rest.
Heritage Village
Manesar, once more.
