the woman in the field.
The weather was ideal and prefect
for strolling around the campus field. The sun was down and its orange rays
dusted in the sky. In the distance the train travelled, hissing and its engine
rumbling. On other days there would be farmers ramping up their days work and
walking home. A typical Indian woman, in their beautiful sari one hand akimbo
and balancing some load on their head. From behind I could calculate their
steps, they would tread along in line laughing and joking with their
counterpart. Presently not a single sign
of life was seen, it was pitch silent and I was a solitary walker. I walked
along the path amidst the lush crops. The corn was in prime growth, the tall
sugarcane leaves waved in the wind. Somewhere afar, lonesome shadow stood firm
at the edge of the field. I reckon it was a girl, because her hairs were untied
and fluttered in the air. She had a figure tall and slim, assumed to be sexy. I
felt curious; it is unusual to find a girl alone and at this odd time. I gathered
what if she was in trouble and needed some help or is she awaiting her lover?
No not at this time and I retracted that notion. As I got closer, i could distinguish even the
outfit she wore. Red t-shirt and skin tight jean possibly a Levis or Denim. I
could smell the expensive perfume she had applied. Those were the clues, she
could not be farmer. Trend of her dressing got a northeast touch, even the
perfume. The breeze came and swept her unkempt hair. I reached close to arms
length, still she did not budge and neither she spoke. Suddenly gush of wind came and she fell down,
i plunged for a frantic rescue, only to discover that she was scarecrow in
tight jeans and red t-shirt.
