She fed them herself. Each rice-ball shaped with the right amount of vegetables, dal, rice ….and love that swelled in her heart. She stroked them gently till they slept, peacefully.
In the morning, the police came. As they led her away, she gave her son-in-law a crooked smile of triumph.

I just want you to tell me why,
innocent people should die;
she could have killed the guy,
anyways the same punishment will apply.
Great writing!
Me: Thanks Govind. As to why she killed the innocent ones and not the guy… there could have been some reason(s). Think, use your imagination. 😛
Good one! And touching too!

(Continuing his rhyme)…
I liked Govind’s reply.
If somebody had to die,
It should have been the guy.
Me: Nice continuation IHM. Yes of course, it should have been him. But that’s the way the mother chose it. Could have been any number of reasons. 🙂
Shail.. I am speechless. you make me go deep within and ponder over the words that I just read. simple , effective and very poignant. excellent.
Me: I am overwhelmed! Thanks Tikuli.
