Two Lives

It was dark night. I was getting late at work. At 11pm I started on the winding roads through DRDO complex eager to go home and sleep.. The roads are empty and there is no moonshine ... I was going at liesurely pace, when suddenly I am awoken to two playful dogs scampering on road... There is a sudden screech....A white ghostly car comes from nowwhere and lights up the road with its powerful headlights.... The inevitable was visible... I was witness to the event.... collision...Two painful howls... A playful happy life was gone... I moved on... went home and slept.

It was frosty morning... I had to come early to work... Sunlight was trickling through the trees providing warmth and comfort to one and all... As I came close to office... a different drama unfolded... A human was at work...chop-chop, chop-chop...creeeaakkk...whamm....The beautiful tree, provider of fresh air, comfort to traveller could no longer take it... the people whom it sheltered no longer needed him. It bowed... and silently moved out of the world...
