No causalities,
Just a regular neighbourly quarrel, really.
No casualties,
Of course.
Old Anand sahab planted a tree sapling
To offer his prayers at dawn; only,
It was on Mahesh ji’s property.
A small tiff followed–
The sapling was torn out
Its screams lost in the smiles of the two neighbour’s reconciliation
Rotting in a pile of rubbish.
So you see,
Just a regular neighbourly quarrel, really.
No casualties.
Maliha Iqbal is a high school student from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh.
