CELEBRATION

The river was overflowing with bliss
 that came down the Ghana as blessings after long draught.
The residents of the sauna village gathered on their fields cheering and celebrating the first Monsoon of the decade.
 People drew out their livestock and camels to feed them with water and collected in voids and vases for later uses.
 There was a smell of celebration blowing through the air . Although its moisture was suppressed as it included no tears  of its residents.
The children danced in their fields and enjoyed the Monsoon.
The old people came out with hookahs and chattered in groups.
Some man came with lighted torches and managed a fireplace and brought the marshmallows and peanuts.
 Others performed folk dances around the fire in couples.
It was like a celebration for the people who had almost forgot the smell of swollen soil.
Fire gleamed in the eyes of the children as some saw the river first time in their lives.
The shadows and noises of dancing people was like a light and sound show for the camels filling their humps to help the survive another .........

EAGER

Eager 

​Exasperated by intense heat ,the worker rolled his sleeves and lowered his spade towards the glowing furnace with crackling iron and was glaring towards the old wall clock . He started shaking his legs as he grew impatient. 

His fellow workers were still engaged in turning the fills,and spreading the liquid metal.

 He lookked towards his vibrating mobile and some known names flashing across the screen and some others in his mind. 

Siren rang and a wry smile spread across his face and his legs started moving in the direction of rushing crowd . He collected his wage ,wore his jacket ,put off his glare gaurd and headed towards the slums.

 On his way he neglected the voices, calls from friends , neighbours and jumped or dodged the barriers in his way. He was also caught in the way by a traffic police man ,he passed his entire wage as penalty and continued running. He became excited as he was coming closer to his destination ( home).

He warmly hugged his son and proceeded inside to meet an elderly woman who reciprocated his love by spreading her arm on his forehead and spoke " bless u son".

2 worlds

When I woke up I saw a toad splashed on the lotus leaves and groaned loudly. The thickets near the pond were now rotten as were immersed in water for so long. Closely ,Frogs jumped on the toadstools and caught air flies. Grasshoppers were also very active and whistled the surrounding. The red ants came out of their antholes and formed chains carrying leaves and carcasses of insects.
Sparrows were whirling round the pond and chirping . Then the water droplets hit the ground and infused a new lush to the greenery. The soft drizzle did wonder as transformed the entire scenario into a dream world. Here the weather seemed to attain utmost purity with sparkling water and soft blowing breeze. The trees nearby seemed high as huge as green castles from where birds were chirping .
BUT then I felt like shaking and woke up, not now in a dream earth but a whistling chimney full with mind wobbling crowd and pollution.
