The moonlight deprived those couples of an Asian slum as if herded together in a plastic drum who lived in a roofless brick- less shove much like a Mal- functioning, Primes-stove. It also deprived those, whose tin- sheet- roof bore gaping cracks as the results of heavy monsoon downpours as the result of unruly monkey- like cloudsβ aqua- missile- attacks. These youngsters were robbed by the silvery - mask βclad bullies of the moonlight who shackled them in their homes and held them tight. It robbed them of the throbbing- pillows of arms of caressing balms, of cuddles, of charms, of lullaby- songs.
As a giggling newlywed bride pointing index- finger at sky, said " I am scared of the full moon, as I proceeded the other day to hug my man he stared from above , like a mischievous goon. " It denied privacy to the folks who sobbed in embrace together in pain. Their elder son was, in a religious frenzy stabbed and the middle was crushed under a streaming train.
It denied the anonymity to the bald tooth-less woman who was caught sipping coke from the fridge and who, by her grandson was whisked from the kitchen Store- room --- which she shared in her late husband- built- house, with a jumbo mouse-- and asked to sleep on the fan- less Veranda. Where she lay reminiscing the crate- fulls she stuffed, -- as she smiled and coughed-- into her fridge, in her youth of Cokes and Miranda !
Moon light is in a way a damaging goon who deprives the poor, sick, the bereaved and the homeless sections of our society from their privacy.
