A Return to Kindergarten

-
The rain falls steadily, not soft but persistent.
We argue over small things, our words tinged with panic.
Yet, our eyes still shine with innocence,
Laughter escapes as the rain gently kisses my face.
For a fleeting moment, he and I are back in kindergarten,
Carefree and unburdened, even just for a little while.

Ministry of Chai and ISL

-
I was in the “Ministry of Chai” a cozy cafe around 6 to 7 PM.  I parked the scooty and stepped inside. Ordered an Adkrak Chai and sat down beside an empty round table. Engrossed by my own thoughts, I started reading Mritunjay, facing all the other customers. A couple of pages flew past the eyes, as the chai reached my table. Songs dissolved in the air. As I cool the chai, I see an adult couple mingling. A family in the distance, and a group of deaf people in front. I sipped the chai, and the warmth brought with it the realization of cold. With it came the realization of how silent the conversation of deaf people really is.  From the corner of my eye, I saw how the facial expressions changed. I observed how they interacted. Trying to understand their signs was like trying to catch a moving metro. Even though I had learned the basics of ISL from Youtube, it was still hard to understand what they were conversing about.

"Just a second!" shouted Gulika, my little sister.  While we get ready let me give a little introduction about us. Gulika and I had annoyed a lot of shopkeepers, just to get our desired clothes and fittings. For me, a full sleeve, a black blouse with a golden lining, a beautiful matching lehenga, and a light-coloured dupatta. Gulika had chosen a blue backless blouse, with a light pink lehenga, printed with roses all around.

Enchanted Forest

A Forest, looks normal from afar But, when you're close  She bewitches you, with Her majestic colours, Her beautiful hair like vines  Her calm yet playful eyes. A Forest, has been through a lot  She has felt, earthquakes She has seen dark and stormy nights  Yet she stands firm to the ground, As if nothing happened, but when observed You can also see thorns and cuts. A Forest, adored by everyone Looks enchanted from the outside and  Inside, even she doesn't know She gives care to little soules She teaches us lessons She helps her family. A Forest, have Lotus's hands Swan's body Elephant's mind An innocent soul, and A bunch of mysteries inside. A Enchanted forest, so lovely Kai najar utartai usski, par  Jana tho uss ko hai hi, tho vo Kahaiti hai, jo mujhai laijai ga Uss mai tri daivo kai Gud honai chahiaai. Yogita A.V
