Till the Day Came To An End.

Till the day came to an end,

All had gone to their homes.

Dinner was ready,

With beautiful salads and soups.

The offices had closed for the day.

The people who had stayed behind,

Were now in a hurry to reach their homes.

The warm hearth and the red glowing fireplace,

Was waiting for them.

Till the day came to an end,

All the homeworks were done.

Playrooms were arranged back to their proper place by the mothers.

The studies for the exams were done,

The children are asleep in the beds,

The bed time storirs were already said.

As it is well past bed time,

The small babies were deep asleep in their mother’s arm.

Till the day came to an end,

God had blessed us all,

So sleep tight,

As the fairies may come and spread their brilliant light.

Adios!

Looking At The Birds.

The birds flew.

I looked at them.

They didn’t wait,

As it was early in the morning.

After an hour or two,

They came back,

And ate the biscuits,

Which I had kept for them.

Looking at the birds,

My heart gladdened up.

The birds were happy,

So were the little ones.

Looking at the birds,

The Sun became full of them,

Be them parrots, crows or sparrows.

The day came more into horizon,

And slowly they dispersed to their own nests or destinations,

I kept looking at them,

Till their whole flock got together,

To share their collections.

I kept looking at them,

Till the day came to an end.

Adios!

Travelling For A Tea Party.

Joshua was in Spain a month or two back.Now he is in Germany. He tells me that travelling in Euro rail is a cool experience.

His friend Jacob has been given permanent posting at Milan, where Jacob’s wife Simoli was living.Jacob and Joshua are good friends and colleagues.When the offer to be a part of the Germany office came, Joshua was happiest as Jacob wanted to be transferred to Milan.

Soon enough all their friends and office colleagues decided to go to Paris for a small holiday ,where Simoli’s father , a big business tycoon had decided to give a big tea party.It was an honour for all to visit his house and when they did arrive they were given French refreshments and with the tea fine croissants were served too.Simoli’s father appeared between all for few minutes, said a few words appreciating his daughter and son-in-law and then disappeared into his big mansion to do some important deals with few other industrialists.

Simoli apologized for her father’s absurd behaviour and said -“Dad is crazy.I am surprised that he even made a guest appearance. “

She appeared a bit sad.Jacob cheered her up a bit.

All tried to cheer her up and they mostly suceeded.

Soon they all left her mansion and visited a place or two and at night they stayed at the big mansion.

The mansion was so huge that they saw no one in it except themselves and the caretakers.

The next day they all had fun and in the evening they left for Milan via Euro rail.

In short it was a happy journey and trip for all.

Adios!

The Surprise Guest.

Seeing Daniel cowering behind his sister Jasmine, the potato king burst out laughing.His laugh reverberated throughout the drawing room.

When everyone looked at the source from where the laughter was coming , they found that the potato king was stuck at their front door, yet he was laughing uncontrollably. So vigorous was his laughter that his crown had slided down to the left side of his face and this caused him to laugh more and more.

Daniel’s mother, Martina-“Excuse me sir, who are you?”

Potato king-“Who am I? Ho, ho, ho”.

He laughed even more.

Jasmine felt very embrassed seeing the Potato king at her house as the last time, Tino and she had accidentally flown to the land of potatoes and her brother had to rescue her. So she went to another room lwhere her dad was watching television.

Daniel silently whispered to his mother-“Ma, he is the King of potatoes.”

Martina instantly scolded her son-“You keep quiet.”

Hearing anger in her voice, the potato king’s laughter subsided and he spoke in a gentle voice.

“Ma’am I am the Potato King.Would you kindly allow me inside your beautiful house?”.

Martina-“Of course your majesty. I am extremely sorry for such inappropriate behaviour.It’s my son Daniel who has caused me a lot of trouble.”

Martina said a few magic words,waved her wand and the potato king was able to enter the drawing room.

Potato king-“Ah! Yes Daniel, my favourite friend. How are you? And how is Tino?”

Martina-“Sire, you know about Tino?”

The potato king -“Of course I do.Last year I had given him eight potatoes to eat and had flown on him twice when Daniel had brought back my brother Mr.Big Potato back to potato land.”

Daniel came forward and shook hands with the potato king.

The potato king-“I am sorry Daniel my friend for the trouble my brother has caused you.”

Saying so he bought out a small gift for Daniel.

It was miniature potato version of Tino.

Daniel held it in his hands and the the small potato version of Tino came alive.It flew around the room and went and sat on Martina’s shoulder and gave her two small kisses on her cheeks.All of Martina’s anger vanished away. She caressed the small Tino.The potato king told her-“Though the bird is made of potato, you won’t be able to eat it. If you try to do so, the bird would simply fly high and high”.

Just at that moment an loud announcement echoed which was-” The fairy queen is coming”

Immediately everybody turned their stance into attention and the potato king rearranged his crown, so that he could look presentable infront of the fairy queen.

The fairy queen entered and curtesied to the potato king and the potato king too bowed his head to the fairy queen.

The fairy queen to the potato king-” Your majesty, you didn’t inform us of your visit to our fairy land. Only after the potato secretary contacted us did we come to know that you were here in fairyland.”

Potato king -“To meet old and good friends where is the need to disturb your Highness’s office? Daniel is my favourite friend and when I heard from another fairy friend of mine that he might be in trouble with his parents, so I came rushing to his side as he had done a true noble deed of helping my brother. I am indebted to him forever.”

The fairy queen waved her wand and an extremely sumptuous buffet appeared before them.

The fairy queen-“Your majesty lets have lunch in Daniel’s honour”.

The potato king on seeing so many exquisite and beautiful dishes infront of him, immediately sat down to have lunch.

On seeing such behaviour from a Head of a State, the ever strict and disciplined Fairy queen smiled widely and so did Martina. The fairy queen even gave a few squeal of laughters.

Daniel hugged his mother tightly and said-“Ma I would never ever go to any place without your permission. “

Martina forgave him and gave him a big kiss.

At that moment Daniels’ s father and Jasmine who were busy watching television, came and they sat down to have lunch.

Daniel’s father and the potato king too exchanged greetings and alls well that ends well.

The potato king stayed with Daniel for three days before he went back to the land of potatoes.

The fairy queen bestowed three boons upon Daniel and he was very proud to receive them and so were his parents and sister.

Adios!
