Standing on the lush green grass I was following the puppy along with a ball. A kitten is squatting beside. At times the ball is in his mouth and at times it is way ahead of him. The red ball on the green grass. The brown puppy and the white kitten. The kitten seems to be enthusiastic in this activity. Within a few minutes, the kitten too, involved in this activity. Ved was enjoying. With a strange note, a crow standing nearby started compiling food for their community. And in five minutes the ball is in the bill of that crow. The crow flies high. Both the puppy and the kitten ran after the crow hastily. Ved didn't realize what exactly was going on between them. Making them run for at least a hundred metres the crow dropped the ball.
Ved begins smiling within. He thinks back to his boyhood days when older groups didn't allow him to play football with them and he came to be a silent observer. One day the ball arrived at him, he picked up the ball and ran toward his home. All were chasing after, when Ved realized this is next to impossible he threw the ball to them.
- Sir, sorry for being late.
Ved looked at her. His student. Today is a practical workout day. Her bag is filled with various colours and drawing papers.
