Traffic in Mumbai, India

These traffic jams

     crossing road impossible.   
                                                                                                        



Lizard : Gecko




  Lizard,cockroach,rat 

                     wasp, at home,take the breath.

  1. Loved your haiku, Ushajee.

    All are annoying yet play an essential role.

  5. Excellent..I have heard the shrieking sounds... and trafic jams have taught me patience...when one can't do a thing, one observes and pick up moments to create haiku..without boundaries...

    Good take by you Ushaji..thanks..
