It's a regular evening and as always I'm sitting on the stairs watching the sky turn cremson, while the sun sets. Seems like it is going to rain, so probably I'll have a peaceful sleep once again. I can hear dogs barking, cows mooing, birds chirping and singing and crickets stridulating. Maybe they are all calling their family members home, since the sun is going to set soon and they will have to return. Well! I believe we all have a place where we must return to, some near and some far. The breeze has always had that familiar touch "cold yet soothing" just enough to lighten one's mood instantly.
I live in an elevated area so I can see more or less everything around me. Sadly, all I can see is concrete buildings, running vehicles and roofs filled with hanging clothes and syntexes of course. I also see men and women sitting on their balcony, I believe they are having a soundfull discussion owing to the situation we are in. We are all quarantined and stuck inside our home without anything to do.
The entire time I have been speaking about things I see from a far. So, let me zoom in to where I stay. Well again a concrete building surrounded by more concrete buildings. But amidst these enormous structures lies a little wooden hut surrounded by pine trees, with an ancient family living in it. I have always known the eldest member of the family as a milkman.
Astonishingly people change with time but they still remain the same. Same house, same place same condition just that the family has enlarged. The oldest member had a son and a daughter. The daughter got married and now she is staying here with her husband and three young children. She has adorable daughters who are 6 years old 5 years old and 2 years old. The eldest daughter is receiving education in a government institution. I believe the new generation might just have a better future ahead of them. As children even they are extremely inquizzitive and lovely at the same time.
The question is what differs us? Is it the boundaries but doesn't that just separate us? Or is it the mind set? I can't help but wonder that they don't have much but just enough to keep that smile on their face.
