Trains, stopping trains and express trains,
Going to and from Victoria Station when it rains.

Occasionally stopping here briefly,
To this busy place as is just seen rightly.

Cars, busses and lorries, as if crushed together,
Weary looking people and exhausted in all weather.

Rushing about at the station like mad,
Tis a busy station with a huge crowd.

Worried faces of commuters tired and dreamy,
Some fresh, some bewildered and some barmy.

Yet others smiling and are full of joy,
Like the innocent children shy and coy.

Busy shopkeepers like hard toiling bees,
In their shops of just a few years lease.

Time to toil hard and make the most of it,
Seize the golden opportunity and don't just sit.

As long as the travellers are here,
They need your freshly brewed beer.

I too travel but on stopping trains,
Writing a letter or two to my friends.
Both sitting on the train and even though,
While walking when leaving the train to go.

I work nearby in a soft drink factory,
A real mad place looking like a huge groggery.

Never saw so many people assembled together,
Walking, shouting, running and climbing a ladder.

Dancing and going mad as it were , still happy and gay,
This is East Croydon Station in the rich land of Surrey.

Very much attached with East Croydon,
And now stuck in the overcrowed London.

I still see East Croydon as fresh in my mind,
Tis the one and only of its kind.

Photography

Photography has taken almost my entire life figuring out how it works. I had to experiment building a home made camera and used it till I successfully produced a few pictures and when I admired them, the word EUREKA came as loud as a bomb and my joy knew no bound.

writing poetry

Music and poetry go together. Both these subjects need great attention. It is like doing Maths that requires great concentration. One has to be very well balanced in mind and body to embrace these subjects. It is often said that well begun is half done and it is quite true. One has to go slowly if one has a long journey ahead.

One will come to understand that the longest journey always starts with the very first step which has to be firmly grounded with positive thoughts if one has to be successful. With this in mind, I'm starting this incredible journey with the great help of Mr Rick ***** of The Lawns who inspired me with his teachings. I admire his intelligence. He is my Guru. I love and respect him. He has inspired me with his perseverance. With his great help I am starting this unexpected endeaver.
