seen in India,
electrical power
fails with the advent
of rains,
Rains bring joy
at the same
turn a woe too soon
while electricity
drops with the event.
The longing for rains
in water starved regions
becomes a wish
not so loving with
the electrical failure.
Wishing for surplus
in the form of drinking
water,crops and prosperity.
encounters a nightmare
to sit through darkness.
A nightmare it will be
to spend the night
amidst mosquito menace,
perspiration resulting
in sleeplessness.
The flourish being
accompanied by
darkness. The normal life
gets dislocated.
