After a prolonged period of drought
on a fine morning,
spring dawned on her life.
With the arrival of a handsome youth in her life
making his jovial entry
lifted the veil of melancholy covering her life.
From the very day
I started living in this residence
together with my family
I had made it a habit watching the lady
whose face reflected an air of melancholy.
She was residing alone in her flat.
In the morning
at about 9 AM
she proceeded ahead
to the nearby station
and returned at about 6 PM in the evening.
After switching on the lights and fan
she changed her dress and wore a nighty.
After about one hour
she closed the doors and windows,
and lay on her hammock and entered
the world of sleep
while the whole city remaining awake.
One day
she came along with
a handsome youth
with the both in sweet, pleasant smiles and laughter.
It was the first time since I arrived in the city
she was seen delighted.
For a short while they lived happily together.
One day bidding adieu to her
the youth left after a short span
and plunged her again into
a shell of melancholy.
Who was the
handsome youth
and where did he go?
With the spring gone,
drought in her life
made its appearance and plunged her into
a veil of sadness.
Will the spring make a return again
with the cycle of life turning a full circle?
Will drought last for a long spell?
