Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

outside
juhu bus stop
they stay
they have
given away
their gas
connection
money
does not
grow on
trees they
say so
on a coal sigdi
food cooked
served on a tray
their children
study in a
municipal school
st joseph was
too far away
water they store
when it rains
heavily as
somebody
stole their
water meter
ran away
for rs 99
they got
a pancard
now waiting
for the unique
card to come
their way
they vote
for congress
election
after election
thanking
the party
for letting
them live
with dignity
a house
is a home
in every way
on the streets
gully cricket
the children play
jo jeeta woh
sikandar
ghar ghar
ki kahani
khoon
pasina
dil se
