The Sky was black. Smoke of crackers
wiped all the plans executed into government buildings. I was wandering like a hippie—far… far away
from my hometown, alone. Suddenly, few street kids caught my attention, playing
at the side of that road. I stared for a while, then don’t know why? I rushed towards
them and offered few bucks. They hesitated but a shied girl almost snatched the
money from my hands. I was about to turn,
leaving the place, but my ears got stuck on their giggles, girl declared while
looking at the sky —I’ll buy some plants.
