"Look where you have brought me!" Radha stopped running, trying to catch her breath. Her beloved could keep on running to the ends of heaven and return without feeling tired. They had been playing catch-catch and throwing colours at each other. So engrossed were they with each other that they had almost reached Earth without noticing. Radha had stopped breathlessly and turned back towards her beloved who had reached her at the very next instant. He came up behind her and encircled her slim waist with his dark muscular arms.
"The Earth looks so serene and beautiful at this time of the day, doesn't it, my dear?"
"Mmmm. Brahmaji really outside himself while creating this place." Radha mused with a sigh.
Just then, they saw a child sitting in front of her home.
"Look Radha! What a cute child. She seems to be engrossed in doing something."
"Yes! I think she is playing with a new thing the humans have invented. She's not even aware of the beauty around her."
"Let's make her see this beauty."
The ever mischievous Krishna immediately came up with a plan.
The little girl who had been busy with the mobile, as her mother pecked away on the computer setting the question paper for the upcoming exam of her students, looked up in surprise hearing the rumble of thunder.
"Oh! What a respite it would be from this hot weather if it would just rain a bit. But I guess the wind is going to blow away any rain that might have showered. Damn!" she thought.
Suddenly the sky burst into a bright pink colour and her breath caught in a gasp at the breathtaking beauty enfolding in front of her eyes. And then again, a vibrant violet spread across the rim of the pink. Throwing aside her mobile she ran towards the boundary fence and saw the glorious colours reflected in the mighty Brahmaputra that had been lying serenely just a few moments ago.
"Mom!" she shouted. "You've got to see this and bring your camera. Come quickly, you don't want to miss this."
An avid lover of nature, Payal didn't need to be heeded a second time. She ran out with her camera and gasped at the vista spread out in front of her. The whole area was bathed in surreal hues, vibrant colours; as if a painter had enough of drawing shapes and just splashed his favourite colours across the canvas.
And without wasting another breath she started clicking her camera capturing the beauty for eternity. And as she stared at the skies, spellbound, she thought that she saw two figures, "Radha and Krishna?" her mind wondered incredulously. They seemed to be playing Holi with each other in the skies......
