"Turmoil of Shifting Paths, adhere in this chaos.
"Shops,Tops,Rickshaw stands & Buss Stops".

Swell onto this concrete blanket, growing, spreading forming an oblivious net.
There are twists on every thread, there is repetition and an array of uneven shed. Some so close to aspire, some jammed in yellow balck attire.
Florists colour the pavings with shades of yellow/Red/White. but sometimes even the street invites certain elements on site.
Blurring edges in the shade of parked cars, shifting paths through stacked iron bars.
Everything here seems to merge, fold, dissapear, reappear, evolve. &
When the clock hits dawn, extended tarpoline sheets, sheltering umbrellas dissolve"
