The setting Sun in the horizon yet
slowly readying to dip in deep waters
crimson sky with wonderful hallow
birds flying fast to their abodes
Young boys and girls splashing water
Playing throw ball and jumping
and tucking under high waves
some swimming in the murky sea,
their loud laughter filling the beach
with joyful abandonment.
Grand parents driving in horse carts
youngsters riding fast on horse backs
Camels with small families on their mounts
Guided by their owners with a whip in hand
small children building sand castles
parents overlooking their activities
and clicking photos in mobiles
yes, a Sunday evening to beat the heat
I sat guarding the baggage of my family
Watching all the fun, enjoying the sea breeze,
with peanuts in hand, waiting for them to return.
Suddenly there were shrieks of people
Children running around and
people rushing to gather them
calling out their dear ones.
when rain drops fell on my head and face
soaking wet my shoulders with chillness
I realized what’s the commotion is all about.
The beach wore a special look all of a sudden
with a veil of pouring rain …
The fading sunset painted the crimson horizon
With patches of dark clouds decorating the sky
Like big black beads dangling with pearldrops
jingling the arena with sounds of joyous music
The sudden downpour filled the air with
Innumerable smell s- stench of fish water
Scents from the crowd, smell from eatable shops
Stink of horse, camel dung, dog **** and trash!
I gathered the baggage trying to protect them
within my arms and covering with my dress
running towards a nearby shelter at a shop
turning to see if any one rushed to help me
But the first rain drops mesmerizing them
they forgot me and their belongings
Dancing and hugging in the first rain,
They were in a joyful world of laughter!
