Stone's throwaway is my 'Home away from Home'

Early in the morning at 9'o clock,

I leave my 'Home sweet Home'

for another Abode....

Greeted by ovals first, later come

a few smiles too

Nothing other than work-

No play, no fun, no song

for this place is true

There come, many others like me,

Some have to carry and others

find it at the end of their 'from home journey';

Never should these machines stop

We call them here desktop and laptop.

Many rules and embedded discipline,

You have to be on time and tidy and clean.

I am sincere, I work and apply my creativity,

After all its e-Shakti to have transparency and Accountability.

Some sweet buddies and a boss ambivalent,

but of late I realised he's also benevolent.

Midday meals when my tiffin travels,

Across the hall where we all sit together.

Posters, pamphlets, poems and plenty of color,

There's a notice board which these all or one of them jewel.

Bad net and 'daylong powercut' surprise

Can't acknwledge more that its a blessing in disguise..

Cruel work never allows me to play

but Powercuts bring Happy Day !!!

With no 'task to complete' around,

I reuse some trash paper to

Freely pour my heart down !

Here, I spend my day from morning to dawn

My office is my new 'Home away from Home'
