Madman: Sarita Vihar crossing

Everyone has a sense of space or home. Now, even a madman has that.....It's weird that for past one week I have noticed this one madman on the same road every time I am driving to work.

May be they define their area in their own way. Today I remember the lines (gibberish) from Manto's Toba Tek Singh

"Upri gur gur di annexe di be-dhiyan o mung di daal of di lalteen."

Just the fact that a madman draws boundaries around him in his own way is remarkable and tells you why we need a home. why a human heart/brain yearns for that space.

When I was thrown out of house at the age of 12....first thing I did was create my own space in the park.



(After about two weeks)


Remember the madman of Sarita Vihar-I did not see him for a few days......I though he is dead.....may be he was out for a vacation.....this could be a nice song:

Madman on a vacation
I missed his sight on the street....

I will complete this song one day.
but he came back today....
