Urban Alienation

Why is it that lives are increasingly alienated in the city, the case is of the bahl sisters, living in noida who stayed for 6 months with no human contact. Their parents passed away, and due to lack of money and mental illness, they just rotted away in their home, with a "bustling" neighbourhood around them.

Noone noticed anything for many months until the actual smell of them rotting away led neighbours to contact the authorities and they were finally "rescued".

Between two countries

Between two  states

Between two cities

Between two towns

Between two clans

Between two neighbours

Between two strangers

And between two lovers

I see a piece of land

unexplored

Where the lamp flickers

And a watchman  sleeps

with one eye open
