An obese hound
Lies lazily on a soft mat,
Waiting for morning
Sleeping hound

Golf club
A ball you flog hard
Over lawns smooth and green
A game called golf, you know
Losing the signal
When wifi is weak
As it can be sometimes
Annoyance may ensue
Clouds
Why do simple clouds
Seem so dull in London
But lov’ly in Darjeeling?
A tree in Bengal
Under the Banyan
Its many roots dangling:
A fine Indian tree
Wheels in grooves
Constrain’d by steel
Steadily it moves forward:
This old Calcutta tram
Cat alert
Eyes searching for
A tasty snack dropped by chance;
The hungry pussy cat
Osama and Obama
Osama and Obama
On a bookstore shelf
Seen in India
Picture taken in a bookshop in Bangalore (Bengaluru)
Beneath a roof
Beneath this roof
Indian patriots conspir’d
To end an empire
The picture shows the roof of a house in London’s Highgate district where, between 1905 and 1910, Indian patriots (including Shyamji Krishnavarma, VD Savarkar, Madanlal Dhingra, and VVS Aiyar) plotted the downfall of the British Empire in India.

Squeaky clean
A cloud of spray
A dirty automobile
Soon will be squeaky clean
