Spiralling up in the mind ....

Today is Thursday .

Some blogger friends who do photoblogs , participate in something called Thursday Challenge, where photos satisfying a particular theme are put up, on Thursdays.

This time , my blogger friend Magiceye, has put up this picture, of one of the old buildinga in Ballard Estate, which is like the old downtown business district of Mumbai, harking back to the British days.

The Thursday theme this time was "CURVED (Bent, Rippled, Coiled, Spiraling, Twisted,...) " !

The spiral staircase in the picture gave me some ideas :-)


Two
tough old fogeys;

The stonehearted,
well established
relentless,
conservative
pillar
of corporate life;

And the
green,
networking,
Gulmohur of the ages
remembering
the old brickless days,
and still
quietly endeavouring
to spread
her branches wide,
sometimes preening
amidst the orange blooms.

And
that double helix
of a staircase,
twirls upward in delight,
around the
stout central pillar,
wondering
which side
of the family
it got its DNA from....
