Antiquated Dance Hall

Somesh and Rajkanta stay at same mess. Sunday is holiday for both the young men. Somesh has a choice of holiday celebration.

It was a Wednesday. At that night Somesh asked Rajkanta,” Hi Rajkanta, have you any planning for sunday celebration?” Rajkanta answered,”No. That planning may be in your brain.” Somesh ecstatically replied,”Of course….”Rajkanta asked,”What is it, tell me?” Somesh answered,”This sunday we are going to visit the three hundred years old dance hall what I’ve never seen. I’ve heared some people to say that it’s really a nice visiting spot. Have you ever visited there?” Rajkanta answered,”No…never”. Somesh encouraged friend,”Then let’s come on visit there this Sunday.” Rajkanta asked,”What will be the time of our journey?” Somesh answered,”the dance hall will open at 2pm and at 6pm it will be closed.” Rajkanta agreed to the arrangement.

On sunday both the friends headed for that dance hall and when they reached there it was half past two in the afternoon.

After booking two entry tickets both of them entered the hall and were highly impressed with the gorgeous decorations. Anyway in the first hall Somesh suddenly applauded with clapping,” Wow, What a unique performance!” But Rajkanta could see no performances there but empty a magnificently decorated hall.

Then they went to next hall where after entering Somesh started to utter the Indian dance beats just like this..ta thei…thei…tat ta…ta…thei…thei …tat . Rajkanta was feeling totally embarrassed with such a behaviour of Somesh in an empty room without reason.

In the next room on entering there Somesh pretended to shake hands with someone in shadow. At it too Rajkanta felt irritated.

Next room there was a sitting arrangement. So both the friends got seated in the couch. Suddenly Rajkanta watched Somesh to exchange a courtsey smile with some one and to get served with a brassed glass of cold lassi. Then Rajkanta asked Somesh,” From where have you got that lassi?” Somesh answered,”Piyali Banu has offered it to me. Do you need it?” Rajkanta answered,”No”

Next room immediate after entering Somesh exclaimed,”Ahh….it is the photography of Moti Bai”and along with an finger indicated towards a photography.

By the time it was 6pm on the mobile. Rajkanta asked Somesh to get outside for the dance hall will be closed. Somesh followed Rajkanta but after coming out Somesh noted that he had left his mobile inside the hall. He informed it to Rajkanta. The door of the hall was still open. So Rajkanta gave permission to Somesh to enter in the hall to bring back the mobile. But no sooner than Somesh got entered in the hall it’s door got locked from inside.

Rajkanta got shaky a

nd nervous to seek help from every passer by. Someone among them informed police of the incident. Police came and opened the hall only to watch a photography of Somesh just by the side of the photography of Moti Bai. Police and Rajkanta searched every nook and corner of the hall but they found Somesh no where.

Soft natured mom

Can teach to read.

Tasty mango keeps

Inside hard seed.

A needle as pierces

As mends torn clothes.

Donkey too is as dull

As can carry loads.

Blooming flower is good

But ugly while decayed.

Calm air is enjoyable,

Not storm.. must be said.

Which sky gives us

So bright sun shine

That too sends cloudy

Weather, home confine.

So many instances are

For opposite image.

Still there is a balance

To maintain proper homage.
