I was in my room, listening English songs loudly on my Intex speakers. Uncle entered in my room. We both smiled. Song was so damn good that I couldn’t help myself to turn it off.
“Do you understand all the English lyrics??” he asked.
“Well, not all, but almost…” I replied with smile.
“You don’t understand it fully, then it’s useless to listen” he shook his head in disgust.
“Well uncle, Do you understand life fully?” I asked.
He gave thoughtful expression. And then said, “No, not fully, but…”
“Then should we live life??” I asked and observed his rolling eyeballs here and there and I said, “…Or should we commit suicide because we don’t fully understand life!!?”
His tongue got paralyzed to utter.
“Uncle, I don’t understand fully lyrics, but I am fully enjoying music… likewise same goes for life. Just enjoy the life. Life will introduce itself through the different circumstances.” I said.
He hummed in agreed tone.
“Uncle, enjoy the life… and let’s enjoy the music…” I laughed to break his serious facial expression into joy. And then I held his both hands and our body went with rhythms. That’s brought wide smile on his face.
