The wall..

Radhey burned with fever.. she missed her doll.. she wanted to play with her doll.. when she is good she will make new clothes for the dolly.. she looked cool in her spaghetti dress.. and the other dress with black straps.. she needed a new gown maybe a couple of more slideover dresses.. .. and.. she thought..

She felt her mother's patting .. her touch ignited unexplainable dislike in her mind.. she wanted to run away.. she turned her head. .. and further yet wanted to face away.. to the wall.

She liked wall.. it was milky white.. and safe to keep staring at.. she had seen the wall move sometimes.. sometimes in different colour the light yellow or ... or medical blue.. from light above .. whether the yellow lamp in passage or from the stick above from the another wall back. ... near passage.. whatever was on.. but mostly it moved.. . before falling to sleep.. or when she can't sleep.. it made the room bigger by moving back.. and her bed moved ahead too.. she could feel her mouth.. her jaws easily remaining close and also as if she chewed her favourite chewing gum.. though she didn't like chewing gum besides the fact that she wasn't allowed to eat chewing gum..she wondered about the wall.. her mouth fell open and closed with ... pneumatic easy pressure.. some pleasing sensational force between har jaws that rippled and made her feel good.. sometime the wall looked really dull.. and sometimes good.. all in all a much more sensible vision.. of primary sort.. a little better then her mother's hovering face.. beloved but yet too much complex emotional vision.. she frowned.. and also better then the scarry poster that her mother hung beside her bed .... she saw her mother crying.. .. she wanted to assure her .. that she was fine.. she will be alright soon.. and she will play again..

She thrashed in sleep.. for what seemed like an assurance on her part to her mother.. Radhey felt suddenly cold.. and she knew.. she was going to have to sleep today also.. whole day.. she can't walk.. she would fall.. but .. only if she will be alone.. if only her mother leave her alone for awhile.. she would then try to walk to the closet to find her doll.. taking her to bed with her.. she feared .. her father would be angry if she asked for a doll now.. and that.. .. where was her father.. !! She wondered.. she had seen him yesterday night.. he was angry first then cried with her mother..

She didn't like the wet rubb on forehead..
Her dolly was so beautiful.. she thought.. with big eyes and pretty lips.. when new.. she had come in a white shining frock.. and white shining pearls.. it was her most favourite item of possession.. and she was so beautiful... she thought..

Radhey .. shifted in sleep.. as her mother came back to sit beside her.. and slowly as her fever subsided.. she felt weak .. and can't move.. she couldn't getup to get dolly.. what if she is lonely like her.. the thought made her resigned to the fact that she is going to walk to cupboard once her mother went away.. and.. that .. she will be fine.. too .. with her.. .. she thought dolly was not real as her mother has told her once .. she don't understand and she don't even get hungry.. and all.. her mother had told her that dolly is always happy.. and that i shall not worry.. and should fall asleep..

as she felt ok.. her fever was going away.. and once she is good.. maybe then she was not her mother's favourite child.. maybe she don't love her most now as she was going to be fine.. no no.. she thought.. she liked dolly most..

She fell in gull.. slowly trying to remember that she will take dolly with her to sleep on bed beside her.. when she is ok..

The Rocks...

there was a small (little) hummock nearby sheetla's village.. she went there everyday directly after school.. to find colourful rocks.. she liked very much.. she would carefully search different coloured stones and bring back her school bag full of rocks in different size and shapes.. her mother would say. .. Mori: sheetla.. these rocks are useless.. why do you work so much to go find rocks.. my daughter.. Sheetla: mother.. they are so colourful.. i like.. Mori: alright sweetie.. now do eat something.. before you go to hill.. you haven't eaten anything.. whole day.. Sheetla: i am not hungry.. She would answer bouncing out the corridor and crossing courtyard to go along play with her awaiting friends.. outside the gate.. She never skipped to go to the mound .. mostly her friends accompanied her but even if by chance they weren't there.. she would go alone.. Once.. she came home early to go to hill.. Mori: why you skipped school.. ? My daughter.. these st...

The Necklace..

Fiki got out of her hut.. moon was shining bright above.. in winter sky.. few smaller.. campfires were burning in vicinity nearby.. she came up to ficus tree in her house front.. and set on her husband kaalu's bedstead she had just made.. where he rested for awhile after dinner every evening till nightfall.. she was agitated.. he hasn't come home yet.. he normally came around nightfall whenever he went to jungle for collecting gum and sandalwood.. he was a sculptor.. he worked well with wood during off season from his farms.. Fiki set restless.. cold.. and even though she had prepared dinner a couple of hours ago.. she set waiting.. hungry.. she always remarked him to take Thindo to accompany whenever to go to jungle.. she thought wryly.. " anyway .. if he would be eaten by some animal.. i wouldn't have to be homeless.. " .. " nobody will bother".. her husband had no other family .. and neighbourhood was quite well with her.. the hut will be all of on...

The Painted dice.. of Mithi..

Silni bent down carefully to pickup a small bright coloured object that fell off from an open pot set atop her head.. filled with children's toys .. and sweet chocolate toffeis made in saccharine and jaggery.. the noon sky flashed a sharp sun that had just come out of thin clouds.. summer flared on hot earthen surfface as shrubs and bushes exurbs.. small brilliant berries.. and wild cactus with red prickly dotting golden flats in red green and dusty.. heat burnned softly on her shoulders as sweat trikkled down her neck.. She looked About as she pikked up the object.. that had fallen out.. on earth.. putting it back.. a yellow and fluorescent toy inside coir pot .. searching for a spot to rest.. spotting a neem tree a little ahead.. standing on roadside path on a walk towards a slightly big hut .. few children played afront. Ahead a little further away from roadway to a big farm . the roof shade.. with a couple of cattle.. she walked to neem tree and set the container beside a fl...
