Boundary



We are playing cricket in the outskirts of our village...

He is looking at us with apprehension ...

He is hesitating to come near to us...

Obviously, the societal customs are stopping him to join us in the game...

He knows very well about the drastic consequences  ...

Nope, he is not an untouchable ...

But we are ...

Was reading the "Why Save Earth" post.

Well, the Earth is capable of regenerating and protecting itself, but htat was because till now it hadn't faced humans. Till now, none of the creatures on this planet tried to get the best of each other the way we are .... i mean no creature ever destroyed the resources for selfish needs .. it was only for hunger .. but we do so for greed as well ... and that is different.

Try reading "Poison Belt' by A.C. Doyle ... u'll like it !

And yeah, trying to save future generations is only through keeping the Earth safe, right ?

Roshmi Sinha said...

Very hard hitting... with a twist in the tale. The view from the other side of the table... is equally ugly and devoid of reason.

Mahesh Aadhya Kalal said...

@ Deepa...
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback . I will hop to the book soon. I heard about it.

I agree with your opinions on saving earth. Thanks a bunch or your appreciation and the pat.
keep dropping by :)

@ Roshmi...
it is ugliest , but i doubt if you have interpreted more than what i intended to convey. Is it?

Unknown said...

Very well written.. "untouchable" word touched my heart. Good twist.
