My girls, ages 10 and 2, shouting yee-ha! like country girls eating cool ranch doritoes but you ain't seen nothing yet as the grandfather clock strikes the hour of sleep, thier rose scented kisses, sweep me off my feet. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

She talked about her twins and I thought she was beautiful her cheeks, rosy and all she said: “My girls are beautiful and made me so glad when they were born: twins separated by a hyphenated minute so glad that I tripped”. I asked “how’s that?” She continued “Why else would I call them yee-ha and ha-yee when I could have called Maya (kindness) and Kavita (poetry) or Chanda (moon) and Diya (lamp)?” I had no words to argue! So I simply asked their age And she said “10and2, they are, born in the year 90and1 of the last century when cool ranch doritoes were still the most wanted thing for a child now they want a complete Barbie set! Oh, when I was young, I was just a country girl with simple needs and a simple life. Things have changed so much!” I said in small whispers ”you ain't seen nothing yet” but she didn’t hear it and continued to speak ”In my younger days, the wind blew with such melody and flowers grew so fine and so many young men wanted to sweep me off my feet and I teased them by the shadows of this grandfather clock and asked them to be afraid of the old man. I did this in adventurous repeat till one day the man of my life entered full of dare hiding behind his back 20and1 roses. And gosh, did I blush did I not blush till the cheeks turned rosy and my grandpa saw it and ordered me in. Timidly I went. Reluctantly I dragged myself into my shadows” “And then?” I asked, and she didn’t need anymore prompting. And an hour and half later the story had been told and that’s when the sunset brushed her glowing face and I came out of her courtyard slightly confused was she glowing because of her undying love for the Prince of her life that once was or were her cheeks glowing because of the pride she felt for yee-ha and ha-yee. I still can’t decide. ------------ I hope I did alright... was fun...  regards sudhir |
