My darling Delhi

My darling Delhi
A few rhyming lines on Delhi…

#MyDarlingDelhi is smart-n-tech
Even with a muffler around its neck!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi with its pot-holes
And mid-road shamiana poles
Still will smile
In style
Despite its poor on doles!

***

The city gives sleepless nights
To the corrupt and the blights!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi loves early morns
No pollution and no horns!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi sells clothes & shoes
And also moments that create news!

***

No, the city doesn’t like a traffic jam
It knows it is due to political sham!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi never says: OUT!
Neither a whisper nor a shout!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi has seen it all
From mud houses to a mall!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi loves its writers
They indeed are the real fighters!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi isn’t speechless
Even a silent PM isn’t a stress!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi calls everyone
To simply come & join the fun!

***

#MyDarlingDelhi inspires all
Even Tihar has now a selling stall!
