             IN A DARKER NIGHT ALONE IN                                   THE ROADSIDE 

Two days before the Navratri i went to the temple to keep my books for pooja. my few books were tied in a newspaper sheet with a white paper sticked on the top to write my name . i left my home  around 7 pm and due to the winter season, night came earlier , the sky was red and blue ,i felt like i was watching a rainbow but it wasn't . the temple was around 2 kilometer far from my house . i decided to walk , a few steps away from my house i saw a lady cleaning the roadside with an really really small brook which looked like a wooden stick from far and near to the lady a man standing with a cigratte in his mouth , the smoke of his cigratte was covering the lady's face and made it kinda blur so that i couldn't see the face of that lady clearly .

after walking a mile i reached the temple usually i washed my legs and get in ..there was big line of kids and a few elders standing for keeping their books for pooja , WAITING WAITING there for around 15 minute i get in into that small room in which hundreds of books covered in the newspaper was neatly arranged in the floor ,  the wall of that small room consisted of a tube light , a few lizards and stickers of goddess . a boy in-front of me a got a sticker with a number , an old man shouted ''FIVE RUPEES" he took a coin of 5 from his pocket and gave to the man . next was  my turn , i kept my books in that table , the old man gave me a sticker with a number 236 to stick on the books . the old man shouted once again ''TEN RUPEES'' since i had enough money with me, i gave it , but i was wondering why is it ten for me and five for that boy , later i realised that , the boy had only 1 book and i had four books . after that i went inside-inside the temple and started pray !! 

After getting out from the temple everything was even more darker when i looked to the sky , it looked like a seashore , i felt like my eyes was glittering because of the darkness of the sky and cubic rays of light from the lambs of temple falling into my eyes . there was peace everywhere . i kept walking and when i reached  a hill   Area . For a moment my eyes was glittering once again with excitement when i saw the rainbows for the first time in my life . not just rainbows the reddish clouds with a sky blue tint on it . with darkness everywhere down , Sky looked magical ...
