The Telescope...

Paarya woke up by flipping of pages, of the book, lying nearby on bedside table, she had fallen in a slumber around five evening, the wind blew faster making the book noisy, she got up to check out the setting of gyrometer, it indicated 14 to 89 by one 10th, making her sure of possibility of catching a sight of grey giant cyclone, she had arranged the analog meter readings converting to numerical input in possible display. She delighted in it's design and was later promoted as it's operating officer, as she checked and noted.. the rings and pendulums had delightful trinkling as it made conversion for input signals.. the conversion was made for adjustment and accuracy in position of scope to automatically detect and follow priority wavelengths.. the scope was installed on side floor of her apartment.. and she was allowed to make connecting balcony passage by a door.. hardly any other officer bothered with scope without her permission.. apart from two attendants that mostly always worked on first floor.. she walked back to her desk ..

Vikram: hi..

Paarya: hi..

She felt underdressed suddenly feeling like butter in scorch.. Vikram was his senior.. and occasionally came to check data .. inventory and also sometimes to see her.. she had denied him dating a couple of years back.. but he kept up looking.. seeing her..

Vikram: oh.. you look so tired.. lets go out dinner..

Paarya: no.. i ..

Vikram: you are going to be single forever.. ? Comeon .. you won't find anyone better then me..

Paarya: i.. .. ok.. i will be back in 15 minutes..

Vikram: hurryup..

Paarya: i know..

Vikram: what.. ??

But she had already disappeared in passage.. he repeated on her back.. "what..??" ..

They dined at "spice and straw" .. on way back..

Vikram: how are you with scope. . And meter.. ? Any chance of new settings .. ?

Paarya: slight .. i already updated twice.. in last 18 months.. additional set is ready but it disturbs the galaxy rt7 view..

Vikram: so leave it.. i didn't know you worked on anything else then grey cyclone..

Paarya: i do .. i like..

Vikram: yes.. ok.. i will set it on scope s2 on first floor.. u just focus on setting improvements.. you are an engineer.. don't waste time on night sky scenery. ..

Paarya went still .. and silent. ..

Vikram: i don't think you are interested in dating.. would you like to marry me.. ?

Paarya: excuse me..!!

Vikram: i .. like you very much.. ..

Paarya: i don't want to marry.. but i will think..

Vikram: you should.. ..

They reached back station by 11..

Paarya: come up for a coffee..

Vikram: seriously.. ? I mean.. hell.. ya .. i need a coffee..

Paarya smiled.. he got captivated in her smile .. her merry face alight in fall from a nearby pole.. he grabbed her.. kissing.. she shifted to one of the pillars of parking.. which was totally empty.. easily in his hold..

Vikram: i love you..

Paarya: yes.. i will..

Vikram: soon.. ?

Paarya: yes.. lets go upstairs..

Vikram: well then .. .i think.. maybe.. ..

Paarya: please do come tonight..

Vikram: yes..

He kissed her again before they went up..

Vikram went to check telescope while she made coffee.. and they spent night looking out in to nightsky..

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...

The Pyre..

Moori came up to surface out of water.. in a single plunge .. the water was cold.. and the summer night smoggy and humid.. filled with October heat.. sea roared a humm of a lover.. as she surfaced and walked out to sands.. water ran through her form wrapped in white.. fabric.. a light reflected on her as she neared large trees .. forming a dense jungle coastline woods.. her clothes flashed yellow in light from fire near a opening to jungle from seashore.. as she neared the fire she had started before taking a plunge into sea.. nearby.. trees.. a shadow moved out behind her.. and disappeared a little further down the line.. she continued looking ahead .. Yajmi stood beside a large tree looking directly by fire.. his mind in the claws of questions and thoughts of this female .. he trembled as his legs wobbled under the vision in front .. of him.. She neared the pyre and climbed a small step of logs and set on heap.. she always set up as long as the fire burned out in cold black stu...

The clocks..

Around midnight.. Nytili went to balcony facing street in front her house.. the wind blew cold .. it did snow nearby mountain last week.. and the swarm of heat hasn't picked up yet.. it was empty obviously and dark.. with poles shadowing in yellow lamps.. farther nearby crossing.. winter nights are so long.. she thought.. chilling.. the clock rang two thirty.. so it wasn't midnight.. but well past .. she went to bed again in her room.. she lay thinking about ... voice.. of the clocks.. it sounded so much like.. the bells in temple.. only that.. the bell strings needed to be pulled but the clocks did strike automatically... and the fact that they were set manually once during day seemed none existent somehow.. it was like the haystacks in her field.. .. they looked beautiful and set.. under sun.. But they were totally flat when rolled.. against the dark background of woods.. She fell in restless slumber.. and wokeup in an hour.. getting up.. she tried to setback.. she pe...
