Sound of Silence

I hate morning without a cup of tea. It makes me refreshing, It invokes my thinking and my inside monkey starts make me jumping like most energetic man in the world.
Well office bus was on time, people were talking about politics, social message and other thing. This makes them moving there jaws and it’s a good exercise all together. At least it gives you burn your calories from any place on your body.
Bus crossed from a crowded place to a silent hilly area and entered into military area.
This was such calm that you can hear a Bleat, sitting inside a bus running at speed of 40kmp. This relatively was making there jaws moving at higher speed but there calories was burning at the same speed.
On a turning driver stopped to take some documents from a place. At a distance of 100m from our bus there was a school bus. All the students in the bus where moving their hands and so energetic that one can assume that how much noise there will be. But still you can hear a Bleat clearly, more clearly.
Boys beating up each other , few looking at them, few playing with there hand, one laughing at the dog outside the bus. Driver of that bus was not irritated, not us. Few in our bus didn’t felt that there was a school bus with lots of student shouting.
This was a school bus for dumb and deaf. I thought is it that I was not hearing or they were not speaking.
Yes, they were speaking, speaking such a truth that we can’t hear. More important then the politics, then social messages and other stuff that’s more important then making the calorie factor active.
I don’t know when people will hear there sound of utterance, but what I can say is they always break the silence but we can’t understand.

While crossing a village

Ram Nagar, village near to a big city. In diwali they had a competition for singing, inspired by TV shows. As we had travelled a lot in this week we thought to stop in the village and watch for the competition going around. Three judges were selected and they sat adjacent on the chowki. First singer was called and was asked to sing a folk song. After the audience shouted he started to sing a item number. After all you can’t suppress audience demand. Judges started giving their comments, first said "You are better then the original singer"
getting his feeling hurt the second judge commented” You need to increase the pitch, improve". Third one was in neutral mood “Lata, Asha, Kishore now we need a new voice that will replace them. Be the new voice. You must sing well and go to Mumbai, I want to see bread in your house." everyone was so sentimental by this sentence that made them clapping there hand.

Singer was so shocked and confused." I never thought I can sing so well, why did my mummy always shout on me when I sing while studying”.
Next one, She was a little girl second judge asked "sing a sad song by Lata ji" before she started audience shouted this was second item number, she sang quite well First judge said " you are superb, you are my daughter." every one clapped, her mother seemed worried it seems she was thinking merely singing one song I lost my daughter.
second judge said "what the hell is this, you forgot one line in middle, Be prepared next time" first judge gave a strong look on the second judge " after this show there will be a murder in this village, I will kill this guy always oppose my comments"
third one peace lover "you must try to be better than Madhu ji".
“No chachi, not you, madhu ji is a famous singer in bollywood now a days"
A boy said to a old women when she said in rickety voice “He is talking about me, I use to sing when I was young".
An old lady came near the chowki, Third judge said "it’s nice to see some old person in this competition, you are inspiring new generation to come up".
"I am not here for singing a song, I want to go to home and cook some food, I can’t go from this side people blocked the way”. Everyone was murmuring between and laughing.
Last singer came first judge said “sing a new song" crowd shouted Item number. "no ,no item number" Third judge said, feeling insulted by crowd on the lady issue. That's true you can’t always accept what people say.
Singing a beautiful song by Kishore, first judge commented "best song, I think you are the winner". Second judge commented “I think we can't see any good singer from this village" now it was pick of patience,
first judge said “clear your eyes and ears" looked angry.
Third Judge neutral one "you are a good singer, touch you parents feet, you are going to become a best singer, now".
All the judges’ arrived at the final decision but there was a tie. They decide let audience should decide who will win. Unluckily both of the singers were favourite of first two judges and when matter reached up to a do or kill situation they finally decide that both of the singers will be awarded.
It was nice evening to watch, we have singers in every corner of our country.
