A Fresh Warm Cake.

A Fresh Warm Cake.

aveekoiqbalneep

A fresh warm cake,

Like the morning happiness,

Wasn’t far away.

Just two streets down,

And four lanes across.

I got up from my bed,

Got the whiff of the bread and cakes being made fresh in the bakery,

I went to buy some.

A fresh warm cake,

With tea,

Gave warmth to my soul,

Ma loved, Baba loved it,

The day became happiest,

For the warm cake delighted us as much as the glowing hearth.

And in the evening, there was more fresh baked items to relish upon.

It felt like the Victorian times.

Some of them are still alive.

Adios!

The Man Asking For Peanuts.

aveekoiqbalneep

Few days back, I was having some peanuts at a bus stand when the man asked me for a peanut.

I said-“What?!”

He said-“ Can I have some peanuts?”

I was taken aback.

He said that hadn’t had peanuts for more than thirty years, so suddenly he felt the need to eat some.

I told him-“There’s a peanut seller, selling peanuts just around the corner. You can buy the peanuts over there.”

“I know I can, but I want to you give me the peanuts.”

Hearing him speak these words I moved away from him, and started walking.Maybe he was nuts.

Then someone called my name and I turned around to see who it was.

It was the same man, who had asked me for peanuts.

I-“How do you know my name?”

Him-“I knew it!”

I-“Knew what?”

Him-“That you won’t recognize me.”

I-“Why should I recognize you?”

Him-“I am your old school friend. We studied in the same school for two years and you would have peanuts which I used to bring in my tiffin box.”

I-“And you wouldn’t give it to me. Just a mere two or three peanuts and the rest you would simply gobble up.”

Him-“You recognized me?”

I-“Oh! Yes.The moment you said can I have some peanuts, that scrawny voice of yours tingled the brain cells in my mind. I immediately thought –“Where had I heard this voice before?” I looked around and though you have grown up  be a grumpy looking man, your eyes and smile hasn’t changed much.”

Him-“So you recognized me and were playing a prank on me?”

I-“Meeting me after so many years, if you can play a prank on me, then I too can do so.”

His face fell down.

I-“Don’t worry old friend. I shall buy you a new pack of peanuts from the peanut seller.”

And thus, he cheered up a bit.

We had tea and peanuts, chatted for a while and then we got up on the bus, which we were supposed to do much earlier.

In long spaces of time, people don’t change much. Do they?

Adios!

Searching For A Job.

Searching For A Job.

Searching For A Job,

A Man met a recruiter.

The recruiter promised him a job,

The job was to be a big one.

Searching for a job,

A man met an engineer.

Who said that he would refer him(the man looking for the job) to his boss.

Searching for a job,

The man even found a wife,

But he couldn’t land himself a job,

So, at last he became a teacher and started his own tuition classes,

And gave others jobs.

Adios!

Walking Along The Road.

aveekoiqbalneep

Walking along the road,

I saw the sun was shining brightly on the leaves of the roadside tree

Many were the trees which had luscious fruits on them.

There was an apple tree,

And the apples were shining in the hue of brightest tinge of red,

Which reminded me of my younger days.

Walking along the road,

I met a man whose bike had broken down,

And he was trying to kick start it.

I was waiting for my mother.

The man –“This damn won’t start. Can you help me?”

I-“I know nothing about bikes.Sorry.”

The man-“Oh! It’s alright.

By the way why are you standing here and where are you going?”

(I was pacing up and down the stretch of the road where Ma was supposed to meet me.”

I replied-“Towards the dam.”

“The dam?”

“Yes, there’s a fish seller nearby, who sells fresh water fish”

“Ah! He’s my brother.”        

“And today’s catch is huge. I can give you a lift if you want.”

“Thank you. But my mother would be coming along in a few minutes in her car,

So, we will go to the dam in the car.”

The man smiled and said- “Bye for now. If you don’t meet me at my brother’s shop,

Then know that I would have gone fishing.”

He went away on his bike.

Few minutes later Ma came, and both of us went to the fish shop.

It seemed that Tilo had gone fishing.

Adios!

The Melodic Singing.

aveekoiqbalneep

The melodic singing.

Would blow away everyone’s ears.

Such was the singing.

The melody was as blunt as a drum playing a flute.

The melody singing was so screechy,

That if your ears didn’t become red, painful and blooming,

You could call it a melody.

The melodic singing,

Was not fit for any display,

Not even for the singer’s mind.

So, the melodic singing was kept locked in the locker of the deep mind,

From where it won’t be retrieved for ever and ever again.

Adios!
