The Story Of An Untold Paradise Kandarpur: Summers - Go Fish !

    The temperatures were rising, maybe a 100 to a 120 fahrenheit, the expression across the state of Odisha was that, "It's Hot !", while somewhere around 11.8 miles from Cuttack, things were looking otherwise for this one house out of 150 other houses. The reason wasn't good food, or great air conditioner, nor great entertainment gadgets, the reason was the experience of a lifetime.    For my Ajja ( Mom's father), what made him chirpier than usual were his kids and grand kids around his ranch during summer, the ranch, that he had built as a dream, thinking that some day in future, all his kids will stay there and would have enough room for additional innovations, if necessary. ( The things parents do for love..)   My Ajja was always an early riser since the days of his engineering education tenure, to when he joined the Indian Railways and served as a lead engineer for around 40-50 years of his entire career.

Where Are You ?

I walked all night ..
And still couldn’t find you.
Dusk turning grey..
The blinking owl out for prey..
Bleeding sky sulking polite..
Soon the sunset went out of sight..
But still couldn’t find you.
Cried out loud..
My echo touched the cloud..
The voices that I heard..
Were mine but sounded staggered.
Why didn’t I warn you not to fight..
As I still couldn’t find you.
There’s a place where I can stay..
But don’t feel like ending the chase today.
Why can’t the night just bring back some light..
As I am still out looking for you.
Now it’s pitch dark..
With the distant dog bark.
I am sitting at this old bench in the park.
Incase you see my spark..
The wind cover is chilly..
Why am I acting silly.
Have I lost the way home?
Now aunt will shout at the way I roam.
Should I keep looking tonight..
Maybe darkness might find you..
Or take me to a place new..
What difference does it make…
As there is never enough bread to bake.
And with you being out..
Nobody’s going to eat I doubt.
