Saranya Prabhakaran

10 November, 2023

The glass window panes of offices are intriguing.

They dazzles at night like lamps during Diwali.

Every pane shining as the lights fall on them.

Showing off the labour of the cleaning staff.

As attractive as these buildings look at night,

The stories and scenes of each window differ 

Ab idle spectator, or worst case a writer,

Would definitely see some exceptional stories 

In some frames there would be togetherness and harmony, but loneliness and isolation in others 

Some would sulk over their night shifts but others are just nocturnal.

Some would be sobbing over a personal call while others convulsed with laughter.

The workaholics would loiter around even after shifts, but for some the Monday blues continue the whole week.

Something common is the struggle.

Struggle to catch up with the running time.

The struggle to smile when their anxious hearts would be pounding through its walls.
