Tagore song sung by Deb Biswas Posted and translated by Ranu

On this moonlit night,

everyone has gone to the woods.

On this crazy windy spring,

they have gone to the woods.

I will not go my dear,I will not go,

I will remain in this house,

all alone.

I will stay in my corner,

I will not go out in this crazy windy spring.

My house has to be washed and mopped,

very carefully by me.

I will have to stay awake,

who knows when he will come,

if he remembers me.

on this moonlit night,

I will not go out to the woods,

on this crazy windy spring.

I will not go out on this moonlit night.

DP Daily Prompt: Mirror Mirror Post by Ranu

The Mirror (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Mirror  Mirror what do I see. My bedroom laughing in glee! Why? I’ll tell you why. Perhaps she is thrilled to pieces for having a person like the gentle lady occupying the bedroom. The pictures are there,they are not moved around every three days.It’s occupant is not giving her a tough time changing the furniture every few seconds.She is peaceful.Which according to her is heaven on earth!

What’s more there are no intruders disturbing her tranquility.It’s when the good lady opens the doors of her closet,the screechy sound  hurts her ears. But the mirror rather see a room where there is movement every now and then,otherwise it might seem she is viewing a morgue. It is unacceptable. She is happy knowing the owner needs her services to comb her hair,to get dressed, and place all the paraphernalia in front of her.She is always glad to oblige!

It wasn’t liking  the presence of cats.The cats kept coming and going. They got more attention than the mirror. So one day she took matters in her hand.She decided enough is enough. She is going to have a talk with  this lone member in the room. As soon as she walked in the mirror made a crackling sound. Astonished the lady said,”What’s wrong with you, my dear Mirror?”  ” I’m  unhappy” she  said. “Why”? said the lady.  Mirror:”either you do away with your pets or I’m going to leave.”  Lady:”You know I cannot do that.”  Well then said the Mirror,”I’m going to make a quick exit”. Lady,” how can you make an exit,you are a mirror, and an inanimate object at that”. Mirror was furious,” You Watch what I can do”. Immediately it made a loud noise and broke into smithereens.Nothing was left except broken pieces. So this ends the story of the Mirror.The end was spectacular!
