The Figures of Village

There is a village out there So secretive and dark, Distinguished by its long lamp shades and struggling winds. Two thousand thoughts hovered in the sky, while thousand bed lights still produced its daughters. Figures outliving years are landmarks to this village. A man with just two front teeth, Clutches firmly to the tattered ajrak shawl, A sleepy signpost that showed the wrong direction, An ambulance driver stiffened by the law of death, A local singer with no admirers, A vintage gramophone playing Ghost songs, Make the artifacts of village. An old man who lost his way to house, Is looking up for a familiar song And registering it in him. To the east of the land, There is a crack in the mountain Through which beasts send their messengers, Dwarfs and giants, Irrespective of size,join their hands deciding not to quit.

Gone With the Wind : A Classic and Beyond

If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill, as God is my witness I'll never be hungry again." On the one side we have the cool superwoman Scarlett O'Hara who said this. When she evolved from a silly woman to the saviour of Tara, her Tara where all her love for Ashley was cultivated along with cotton. But on the other side we have the not-so-perfect Rhett Butler who said, "frankly my dear, i don't give a damn." I fell in love with Rhett the very moment he said "You should be kissed, by someone who knows how" to Scarlett.Rhett fell in love with Scarlett not only because she was beautiful but also because they formed a horrible couple together."I love you. Because we’re alike. Bad lots both of us." Yes, they were both bad,than the nice Ashley an
