Reflections

Chinmoy Biswas, West Bengal

He sits on the tip of the boat, lost in thought, perhaps waiting for his master. The last cargo for the day is loaded. He watches the jute stacks, the river flowing quietly around them in spite of the impending shower. Perhaps the waves wish not to disturb their reflections.

Shadows

 

Praveen Paul, Kerala

They stick to your side from dawn to dusk. They rest when you rest and chase you all the way if you get away. They actually have no wish to overtake you. Indeed, shadows are your true friends if ever there were any. In clear waters, you see them better.
