Quiet Mangalbazar

Posted on March 29, 2020 by Shreya Joshi Posted in Poetry, Writer lifeTagged Corona, Nepal Earthquake, Poetry

Bikes honking and people chattering,
There weren’t any, it was mesmerizing.
The surreal beauty of Mangalbazar,
I was stunned, even amazed!

It is a privilege, I must say,
Soaking in the glory of this mystique.
It was as if the fables had come to life,
Until I was hit by a heart sinking dread.

The last time I saw this place empty,
Earth was shaking, monuments were crumbling,
Life was a misery, 25^th of April 2015
I like the silence, but Mangalbazar; it’s better crowded.

When this is all over, I’ll be here once again
Embracing the ever-so-crowded heart of the city!
