Highways

 Inaugurated by bigwigs

modern national highways lack charactar

unlike the old meandering state highways

with large trees lining both sides.

old landmarks and eateries go missing

with roads vying with cars to reach somewhere faster.

as everything passes in a Jiff

you see on hoardings men sell steel, cement and loans  while women sell jwellery sarees and cookers

somethings aren't so different in the modern highways afterall.
