little boy,
brown shirt,
khakhi shorts
skipping through
narrow alleys
with your chai carrier
and your constant,
cheeky grin
hanging around
curiously, as
groups of people chat

with your chai carrier
and your constant,
cheeky grin
hanging around
curiously, as
groups of people chat
leaning against the wall
cigarettes lit,
some planning weekends
some talking of previous ones
others taking you
through the day
and office politics
you listen carefully
as you wait for the glasses
to the 4 pm gossip
knowing that the rest
awaits you tomorrow
no story remains unfinished.

Wow .. you have so wonderfully made me visualize the scenario , and the last line just made me scream "so true .. loved it ! ":)
I think I've probably said this before, I'll say it again. Not everyone sees these things. :) And even if they do, they do not express them with such care and clarity.
i am somehow reminded of an old channel v ad, a small chai wala boy dancing along as he goes to distribute tea, with "ye jawani hai deewani" playing in the background.
