In pursuit of happiness

                       A walk through the Jubilee Park on the new year day at IISc, Bangalore.

The sun withdrew as I moved the clothes from the line

The birds hurried but why did I not look up as I left

The courtyard and a year, all gone behind

Feelings strayed out of calm, a failed resolution

Solitude and a world, of truth in earnest

New beginnings so often, in pursuit of happiness.
