PART-1

1 The projected area was close to the white structure that was disguised by a brier and an array of birches. The watchman had a smile that revealed his shrewdness of observation and he was nonchalant rather than rude, generally speaking, but they said he was a good man. While walking, the elder crushed the stone beneath his footwear with extraordinary vigour as if he offered vent to a mysterious malignity. The little granules in his eyes that started late made him uneasy at interludes and a part of the sharp change he made in his lifestyle was past anybody’s comprehension. He had a stick with a metallic edge which he used routinely not for its right reason but to demonstrate that he could act nimbly and may be superior to anybody, his

imaginary foe he saw in those afternoon slumbers. In his dreams, he seldom lost a duel. This was not due to any special upbringing, but his recent changes of thought he acquired in his recent company that was a horde of competitors for a trophy. He took in the courtyard under yew trees and the use of a wand is to strike and the goal could be anything. It does not by and large make a difference. Every end of the week he went for wrestling contests, and he hoped it made him lose a few pounds around his tummy walls. But otherwise, he was happy. He did not laugh often but when he did so, the whole room reverberated with the sounds and since his room was close to the jetty and the workers often shouted outside the well-framed walls, it's all mixed together in a ludicrous orchestra, a new symphony yet to create……Today is Saturday. His day off from labour. But he did not dodge activity altogether, as he desired to

be in touch with some former buddies of his college, and though he dropped out miserably, he still kept his connections. One was the undersecretary who was amongst his gang of mirth finders when they used to go to the town and later in the movie in a multiplex and later still for a late supper with sleazy liquor after which all involved in irrelevant symposia. The undersecretary too. It was quite late that he qualified for the civil examination, in the third attempt and step by step advanced to the cadre of the undersecretary.People like him, he maintained associations. First just the pleasure of meeting an old mate, but later for mutual help, as his wife got a posting to the current town because of his recommendation, and he will go to their house or send his nephew to collect their electricity and water dues and pay them in time……This is all about our watchman. But our story is something else. It obviously tells the story of three girls in a

eight years, then when on senseless reasons when he was angry with them for killing his pet divert in the television…..No child is conceived wicked. The closed room. In any case, the damnation of that. You perceive that toward the end of your genuine work, that is not as extraordinary as and respectable on the off chance that you are occupied with their organization or in an in the organization of card games being. To be perfectly honest, I like the organization of young women. ………This is on the grounds that they treat you deferentially first since you are a man and afterwards you are over their age helping them to remember their dad or uncle. Once in a while, I talk about private things with them. Since they need to talk about such things to their sentimental partner and they think you are not fit for such stuff. This raises you in a superior position, now and again a philosophical one, where you watch the back

and forth movements and their statures of life from a superior point. You all of a sudden find in the lady your own life partner two or three decades prior and your own particular hot contemplations concerning her and how the desire of life at each point was not even the value of a tuppence, only a joke of one day on the off chance that you could see them that way………..As of late, I went in a ship like an eatery in the country. The servers were altogether dressed like privateers and the point of the inn is to draw in individuals, rich ones who could spend tremendous sums in a solitary supper. At the point when you turn out after the sumptuous sustenance, your first sight is on the road, young men who can’t manage the cost of a small amount of the supper you had. It is possible that you go bleak. Or, on the other hand, out of philanthropy, what a mean thing to even display it. Besides, you are flustered about

your low otherworldly status and the then end the day on another flimsily thought………..He came from the room when the sexton addressed him on the philosophical significance of Voltaire’s plays and the riddle plays. Asinine, that was his rejoinder to a gigantic exertion from ricocheting back… he kept the beat, his particular cadence so intimate to the waterways in a muddy autumn with staggering figures and dolls in human shapes from far beyond, rejected silhouettes in a world that lets out mercilessly the chaff… Many times he was strolling into the edge of the abbey with a forked eye and catching the hand of his more juvenile sibling and the latter vanishing suddenly into the thick of night, from the sash window, she looked the young matron with a coffee-colored hair tender and cathartic at first sight and falling like a torrential slide by the marble edges of the lanes and the flagstones in those cool

September months, when her father came from the city, all happy for a new rise and here in the lobby, his boisterous voice drowned in champagne but her mind in another clamorous whisper they often pass on to the passionate rhythms of presence, a similar one he collected in an open bistro when a young lady entered the hall with a thick-rimmed book and her bohemian friend and further the genuflexion of figures behind rugged breezes and the uproar………

Her closest friend was Liz Sebastian, a young lady who began from Northumberland and had a little cleavage between her front teeth. She used to keep running with her for supper that was served outside the lobby when it was stacked with visitors. Mary’s family was scattered after her father’s death.He was in
