This side of the terrace is my favorite. Because if you stand in this direction, you can’t see anything except rows and rows of trees. Someone planted this in the backyard of our house. Almost all of them are wood trees. That is why there is not much sunlight here. Even if the sun is shining brightly, this side remain gloomy as always. Sometimes sunlight falls through the gaps in the trees, but it is transient. Usually people are rarely seen here. But every afternoon a group of people come to collect dry leaves. Most of these people are female. Most of them have two or three children. They gather the dried leaves with a broom and their kids pack them up.
Many put their small children on the ground. The children continue play with the soil. Most of the people who work here have dirty clothes specially the little one. You can see the dirt stains all over the clothes. Whatever it is, their smile is very innocent. I always look at them from a distance. The thing that fascinates me the most is all of them have a friendly relationship. They share their joys and sorrows with each other. Even these little ones are no exception.
There is a garment next to the garden. That's why there are always people here. So many people help their kids with money or a variety of food when they come to work. These little ones share food with each other. I notice this scene while standing on the terrace. Sometimes I see them fighting fiercely. Even if they fight, it will be fixed in a short time. After a while, they got together and started playing. The funny thing is that sometimes women get into fights with each other while collecting dry leaves. The subject of their quarrel is very strange like someone has put together dry leaves with a broom, another came and packed the leaves she had collected. Their men intervene to stop their quarrel. Sometimes men would also fight with each other when stop quarrelling. These things are weird and funny at the same time. Sometimes I laugh alone when I see their activities. The world is very diverse. The people of this world is also variegated which sometimes makes us laugh with surprises.
It must be enjoyable to see many diverse kind of people from a single place. You are lucky because many of us want to have a terrace or a balcony in our house where we can sit and have quality time with our own.
Well written apu 💛
Sometimes small things bring a lot of happiness. It is just an expression of that.
Thanks for the appreciation bhaiya 🥀
It’s no surprise that they would quarrel over mundane stuff. Regardless, I think that they stay unified for a longer time than their enmity with one another. Great read!
What I mean here is how people can react to small things. Maybe for some people these things are nothing but it means lot to them. Since I was not familiar with this type behaviour, I get surprised.
Yeah.
