“Pune, India”by Benjamin ChodroffLicensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

Hills Of Mahabaleshwar

Passing through a long stretch of woodlandsand fields above the hills,

we saw a terrain with knolls in circles, where the mountain-rat Shivaji held sway,

with a drawn sword when the Moghuls ruled India.When we were going up, the shining bunds of lights

one above the other on the slopes of the hills, made our jaunt fascinating!

A fine morning drizzle fell to make the hills smileand the spreading mists tried in vain to veil the hills

from our ravening looks.The mists were wreathing upwards

while our eyes were scaling down the slopes.And it was a vertiginous dropp to the vales below!

Sparkling sparks of teachers, my friends were, taking neck or nothing risks

and travelling in routes unheard of to retreat into hills and forests,

not as jungle bandits with prize catchesor as bogus ascetics with all delicacies

but with passions unbridledto get wet in the breeze of the hills

and be shrouded in the all pervading mists.

Poem by Rajendran Muthiah
