worry of hearth

blushing out a narrow hole
yellow, red and black a whole,

burning twigs and leaves when dry
giving out a complete meal with a fry

smokes, ashes and a burning smell
sweats, cries of the smoking gale

cooking pan of thousands and more
beating hunger with taste and cure

looking smiles of near and dear
with a country of joy and cheers

heaps may count as two three and four
but the holes never exceed two or more

experts now decide a ban on it
as air gets polluted due to smoke of it

vehicles, factories may top the list
but the little pan is on the twist


a special thanks to my dear friend asutosh moharana.

wishes were being flooded from all the directions. everyone​ was busy congratulating him. the room was fully occupied by flower bouquet and wishing cards. but there was something missing in his eyes. He seemed like giving some fake smiles to the people around him. it was  like he was just standing right there and his  soul was flying in other dimensions. The annual UPSC examination result was just published the day before , C. Arryansh got all India 115th rank . Every one in his family were very happy and proud . His  house became the center of attraction in his neighborhood​ . He must be happiest the  person among all . But Something was off with him that day. As if he is not enjoying that moment at all. Something really bothering him . Soon enough he ran away to his room and locked himself. Everyone shocked at his behavior. His mother checked whether he was ok or not. But he didn't answer. He drew out the phone from the corner table and opened a photo . He couldn't​ h
