Tit-Bits

Munirka Village

(As Delhi grew this village now in south Delhi had been 
engulfed and its fields turned to settlements)

1. Munirka Village 

Stump of tree tells of stories old
Of children playing under its fold
Nearby too is a well to be seen
Where once women gossiped both stout and lean

Old Names, Still New

2. Batla House Market

Batla house, the only house
Once seen on Okhla road
Now all around a market place
Named still as Batla house


Ghaffar Manzil the only mansion
Back of Jamia once seen
A dense settlement soon sprang up fast
And named still ' Manzil as in the yonder past

While I Studied Mughal India


Sons have been fed
And are now in bed
Me at the table
To prove how much able
To sort the Kings and Kingdoms ruled
How public was served or being fooled
                                      
                                 ___________________________________________


Devilish Unity


Smart people in a room when put their heads together
Like to trample others with their looks and deeds
Unity is strength I hear people say
But when the devil brings it about
Only destruction plagues
