Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face.

Finding a hidden purpose in life


On his leisurely but pleasant journey to the adjacent mosque to conduct night prayer, an elderly man saluted another person gently from behind. Then, in a straight response to that courteous individual, another person enquired as to whether the weather was pleasant today. 

Without holding back, that soft-spoken person mentioned that there was a good supply of electricity and that the weather was still much better. It was certainly their sudden meeting. Neither of them had a hope of coming face to face at such a time, coming out of their respective flats. 

As another person noticed him a few seconds later, he started asking some simpler questions to make him comfortable.  There was no deception or prank involved in this short conversation. He, strangely, changed into something far more inconspicuous by the time he met the person on the way, giving a full look at the wide road outside. 

Both were quite well conversant with each other. Both were wearing undeniably simple, comfortable, and traditionally indigenous dresses, given the hot summer time. To make it clearer, one was wearing a kurta-pyjama while another was in a lungi-Kurta. They soon entered the lift and reached the upper floor. They had a sort of retina-burning effect as ample ceiling lights were put on for the prayer seekers. 

Their conversation went something like the usual exchange of words encompassing the weather and power supply situation in their particular area. There are no affordable alternatives for the situation. We will not be surprised if monsoon returns, and as a result, they will find an everyday electricity situation quite better.
