Standing in his green yard reflecting the exuberance of life...

That evening I received the call from my sister.We spoke regarding the ceremony where we had recently met. After which she asked what I had prepared for dinner.I said her that my companion had left for native so I had no mood to cook anything and satisfied my hunger with some fruits.She could surely resonate with it.
  After the call I made ginger tea,sat in the  balcony. Evening breeze,the orange sky,the dusk slowly taking over the day everything looked dull but the plants in the balcony fluttering for breeze were so promising.
They were given by Radha Krishna mama.
   Radha Krishna mama , he is an encyclopedia.The man who answers the questions related to Mangalyan.Who gives best suggestions for investment,Who can recognize the music note,what not?!
   His wife had ended her life because of her never curing disease,his daughter deserted him which he couldn't avoid.He was cheated by his own brother and missed the great opportunity of becoming Tahashildar.He had to retire from his career as a school teacher.In short destiny had laughed at him.
 Radha Krishna mama never said why problems are striking his life one after the other but smiled and bounced back each time he was pushed down by the destiny.
   He lives in the same house.He conducts spoken English classes for poor and needy people around him.He tries out the new recipes using the farm fresh organic vegetables that he grows in his backyard.He reads every new book and discuss it with young boys and girls of his neighborhood.
 Last time when I visited him,He was standing in his green yard reflecting the exuberance of life.His infectious smile,salt and pepper hair, sparkling eyes, dynamic personality ,as his name he had motherly heart also a complete man!
  For him royal Enfield is his wife,plants he grows are his own children,books are his best friends.He is simply the bundle of joy.
I went back called him, spoke for a few minutes.That night I had sumptuous dinner.My eyes had dreams when they closed for the day.I had dreamt of the lush green yard filled with life!
