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 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 cliff..

Paarya went to the cliff everyday.. in the hope that she would hear the melodious cadence once more.. just once more.. please.. God.. she prayed.. as she climbed the steep clear trail.. to the top of the hill nearby her house.. she went regularly to see the sunrise or sometimes sunset mostly in the evening.. please as she urged herself forward.. the stiff cotton folds of her paticote flipping by her legs... she hardly payed any attention to the side.. the shrubs looked extremely still as she moved .. appeared yellow sometimes.. she wondered .. if it was flowers or the drop in her false vision.. both sides were flooded with spring blooms... lightly sprinkled.. . shrubs and bushes... somewhere.. right from out the gate of her house to the steep incline.. then a rise.. really was a small span of substantially wide strap to the base of earth rise to hill and then a little awkward steady incline up to the small flat ground atop hill and uneven extension of the hill side in all ways.. the...

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...
