THE TOWN SHEPHERD


This is a real one. Every morning I set out of my house for college. The bus stand is one kilometer away. Walking down the lane I come across school kids, vegetable market, butcher’s shops, truck parking area and hanuman’s temple. Just before the temple I take a turn and walk through a sub path and here I meet the town shepherd. Wonder why I am calling him a town shepherd, simply he is a shepherd and he is in a town. Dirty white dhoti, cream color kurta and distinct style of white pagdi (do u know rajesthani men are depict by their pagdi and the way they wear it). Every morning I see him sitting beside the sheep. Sometime beating them with an old stick to align them in the 20/20 meter building plot and rest of the time goofing up in one corner. Rarely he does talks to anyone else. With his distinct posture and photogenic expression he looks at the passer-by with mercy eyes but tough attitude. It seems sometime that the sheep are the only friend he is having in this whole world!!

Seems completely disassociated from this world, he just doesn’t care. No concern for the current affair and the city life, he is happy till his sheep are getting feed. I wondered sometime how he gets here with these sheep. Don’t know anything where he came from or where he spends his nights!! What he must be thinking all daylong in the solitude? His childhood memories, his teenage days or the hard work, once he did in his times. Is he regretting ever from his past or taken this as his daily routine. May be someday some great photographer take his pictures and make money but for now he is unknown for all but known to me.

I will talk to the shepherd soon and with me you too will get to know about him soon!!

God Calligraphy, Doodle story

Sahil (age- 15 years, body- athletic) was sitting in his tree house. When his mother called him saying “so many time I told u not to go to the tree house this early morning, now come-on come down u r getting late for the school”. Next scene….. Sahil sitting in his physics class was doodling in his notebook out of sheer lack of interest. The teacher found out, scolded him and throws him out of the class. It was nothing new to him which was slowly becoming his life paradox and others delight. Later that evening…. He was disturbed so he went to the tree house once again. This time he was sitting there staring at the doodles pasted by him on the wooden wall (plank). He was deep in thought when suddenly he heard some noise as if a group of people talking. This continue for a few days and later he realized that there are people around the world like him who were hunted by boredom while doing something which they were not interested at and the sheer concentration they develop subcon...
