It was a sultry evening. I sat with my cuppa of masala chai in front of the
calm view. The nature had painted quite a beautiful view. The flight of birds
were heading to their destination and some of the birds were neatly perched
themselves in midst of the branches of the tall palm trees. The rustling of
leaves of the palm trees added a musical delight to my ears. The sun was hitting
my balcony and I was bathing in the warmth of it. The distant sound of waves
clashing the edges of the cliffs augmented the existing magic. I strained my
neck to see the sun entering the horizon. Like Pablo Neruda says, every evening
in the balcony of the sea, a fire is born, wings open. The ball of fire was
clearly visible and I could imagine the sweat stewed hours that it put the
whole day to shine down on us, to illuminate the dark corners of the world and
also acting like a silent admirer of green blanket of nature. Music is the most
alive of all forms of art and I heard it through the action of birds, waves,
and the tiny tots. The gouged lawn in front of our resort was the eye catching
element and I could smell the globe of petals withdrawn from the flowers of the
trees even from distance. The local folks were rushing to their own place after
finishing their daily chores and duties. The cuckoo sitting on the tree was
busy cooing and making a sonorous sound. Such was the atmosphere. Fresh, clean
and so virgin ready to lose it all for the mankind. The tryst with nature
lasted for few more seconds before I heard a loud cry of my girl. I sat my
tea on a chair and went inside to pick her up. Bringing her to the balcony, I
showed her the true magic of Mother Nature and her kindness.
Vindhya was sipping hot cup of coffee on her desk. She was reading a quarterly report of her company. As she finished, she glanced at the debt market desk opposite to her. She cannot see him. She was yearning and longing for his eyes, innocuous smile and seductive charm. She was searching for those eyes since one week. It had been a long wait though. Vindhya was an introvert, shy, pretty young lady. She dressed up in a traditional style with Kurti and salwar with nicely braided long hair. She had a finance masters in hand and was working as an Analyst in a financial services firm. Her co workers liked her not only because of the way she looked but also the way she spoke, behaved and her whole nature. She was a quick learner and efficient at work. Ameesh was a Debt market dealer in the same company. He was a reserved person and never mixed with people around. He had a fixed set of 3-4 friends whom he used to hang out with. It had been six months. Vindhya and Ameesh were a
