It Is A Drama March 21, 2019
Passive I stay watching the frenzy with awe and fun. The haste expressed by the close related women folk turns amusing. It is a pre arranged ceremony does not require any fanfare yet, I see precipitation. With sweat over their brows they run here and there creating an effect of earnestness. Their histrionic skills with […]
