Paradise Lost

I have a whole lot of work, but all my thoughts are converged on her.........

sprawling greens in midst of concrete jungle
ruins of bygone era,ushering in nostalgia
life at breakneck speed
frolicking aristocrats
loitering politicians
a place where you need to know "someone"
a place that was once close to my heart
I weep for Delhi today
I weep for paradise lost
The city that raised me
the city that gave me identity
the city where I lost everything
the name which is all but agony now
the name that doesn't let me live
Delhi
