The car ahead
had two shining dots of light
on it
That's how I learnt
My headlamps had
been on
all along .
Many a time
one's own face
is clearly seen
in someone else's
eyes

The trees in the neighbourhood have giant broad leaves . I have been watching them all winter . At first they were , devil-may-care dark green , full of eternal youth and vigor . Even harshest weather couldn't dislodge them . Then came fall ,and they turned slightly less green , less sure of themselves . A few (specially at the apex ) turned yellow. The yellow ones fell . In ones and twos , slowly , the others too , turned yellow . And they fell pell-mell . In the deepest , darkest winter , there was a carpet of yellow lying on the floor, at the base of the tree . When the sun finally came out , the tree stood nude , except for a line of yellow ones , ready to drop , at the first hint of wind .
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yesterday , I saw a teetar family in the bushes , a mongoose nosing around , a finch flicking its black tail and an owl screeched in the cold of the night . I met all my friends .
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
A patch of moss on my wall is the shape of 1 The twig end of a broomstick 2 A teenager's emphatically swaying ponytail 3 The hair on the tail of a mare 4 The swish and flick of a Hogwart's wand .
