Today as usual Papa came late. The Bags, which were once used to fill with Happy surprises, are empty today. With Him came silence, intolerance and all other friends - whose presence no living person will bear. Mother silently brought tea. He sat down on couch. We had already surrendered our cartoon channel to the silent T.v., which now tuned into some boring NEWS channel. I could guess - Bad Sensex,Boss's Torture and Blank head. But my little sisters might try to wonder at the similarities between their school's tough Principal's surprise visit and Father's routine Home Coming.

We sat nearly for an hour with only TV NEWS reporter talking too much, mother cooking very hastily. Then I went to help mother and my two younger sisters very soon got busy with their playings in their room- noisily, whole heartily - oh Gosh, I wish I could have joined them. Then rang the 'fire' Phone.  Very less dialogues, more fiery expressions and a Bang,...We now stick to strict protocol. Must light candle - Prayer - then dinner - then playing carom for half hour and compulsorily sleep - even cant able to sleep - 'count Sheep and Sleep'.

Prayer part was tough for little sisters. But food we three enjoyed mostly with low voice mugging, chatting, compressed laughter.. Then we set to play. I sat on couch for book reading with papa playing with other two girls. The first game papa won very Hitlerly. That didn't went hard over sisters, but a sense of tension rose in the atmosphere. Mother, who was ending up with the chores in kitchen came and join sides to loosing girls. Poor little ones, they even cant understand the phenomenon of loosing. It's difficult to take defeat on the face over to the childhood. But today Hitler had came with Gaddsafi and all the devilish dictators as if he is to conquer whole world today and today by itself. Now my youngest dear gave up and started crying with Mummy trying to calm her down and argue with papa -  How can he be so immature, it was just the game with small ones...even he cant understand the way of outlook of these smalls..and so on so forth...and we wind up went up to bed.

In the dunes of carcinogenic smoke - with dim light in the corner of the dark world - Father sat there and gave a thought - when a person lost to all other sides of life - How can he loose the only side, he is powerful to and when almost he had weak opponents...But when the same situation is placed within the BOND OF LOVE - HOW FAR CAN YOU JUSTIFY ?..
