in the sweltering heat of mumbai
she wore grey tweed dress
unmissable
with a wide and plunging neckline
and all of us gawked.
i imagined my baggy clad woman colleague saying
chee.... women today
i imagined her male colleagues
trying hard to look nowhere but her eyes
i was the only one she caught smiling
hey, i wanted to call out... i am not smiling
i am just, smiling
