What the city does not have..

What the city does not have, what the city has lost is the clamorous choir of birds, the wiseness in passivity and quietude. Backyards have become a thing of past and so has the joy of association. Free from the attachment of living, captivated by the trammels of materialism. Amidst all of this, I have unremembered the muddy street that I took to reach here, the one I once believed to make my feet dirty, whose gravel pierced me, made impressions for a lifetime and prepared me for today, the one which the city has lost.
