Photo tells
us what the situation
in the old
time village
Camels
worked all day long
Pulling rope
tightly connected to wheel of buckets
Full of water from the under ground
now called
irrigation
Thing like
this had been replaced to morden pump
reality of existance in the past
memorable evidence
lost many years
nothing exists on the basis on past
valuable
record of camel pump
a piece of landmark
Dog laying
over the marble floor confortably
Taking a
nap after the meal
strictly based on the human diet
chapati and cow milk
For thirteen
years of her life
Vegetarian diet is
thus proven
to be working OK
for pet
Good to see
what students are discussing
in a group
Individual
performance is not considered
to be valid
in this class
Rather uniformity and cooperation should be
first
priority for the skill developments
One might be
aware of that care is needed to others
Discusion
in such a way that collaboration
and
integration
sharing ideas with others
all
essential parts of such role play
More
important than learning subject
A number of
motorcycles neatly parking
in the front
yard of student dormitory
On the
Saturday morning
A little
break
for
students working hard in this week
Same is also
trure to their vehicle
Peaceful
atmosphere under the blue sky
Just
imforming them
the spring will
be coming soon
so that
they may see their mom
Waiting for someone who will
send mail
Rusted for a long time
Never imagine to whom and when this post will be
available
Postman may come sometime a
day
Nothing inside will be his
disappointment
These days mail is mostly
via internet
Rapid and less costs than post
mail
Missing is individual characters
Prints by computer signify
no discrimination in document
That why the post is
standing for
Hand-written letter of yours
on the corner of lonely road
Let me handle
anything that
you wish to wear
A piece of
cloth cut and sewn by him
Ready for
wearing by anyone
Long piece
of cloth now converted to nice shirts
Facing strangers
passing by his shop
He may be well
known
As custom- made- tailor in town
for many
years
Your demand
is always satisfactory
Driving down
the deep mountains in
the late everning arrival
Next
morning hymn rising from holy place
where people
are attracted Students
in the separate uniform
sitting in
the room accoding to their age
Voice of
children cleansing soul
Giving us
new energy which expelled
any contaminants
I asked a
few children at the age of 16 or so
for their
wish in the future carrier
Most sait to
be engineer in future
The time
when those youth will grow up
world should
be more promising
Amazing lighting over the mountains
Never seen
things like this
Every
houses are lighting like
stars in
the sky
Symbolizing
electricity
furnished all over the country
None of
people are missing
their own
light
in such
isolated area
no place exists
without light
Even in the
deep mountains
This is
what you can see
along the
road side
a place for
shading
from harsh
sunshine
and sudden
rain
Sometime
one can notice
trees
tangled by their own branches
as if we
are trapped by own notion
