Glancing out on this July evening, I could see the blue black evening sky curving over our city. The lights were coming on, and the darkness in between were becoming even more pronounced...Underneath this magnificent natural canvas, were lurking the fanatic, cycling away with tiffin boxes, supported and funded by people with an agenda.
In ordinary times, one could spend hours looking at the myriads of colours and their interplay.
Now people scurry home, away from malls and cinema halls, furtively check email, play with their dog within the four walls of their house and are curiously silent.
A horrible anticipation is in the air....
A war has been unilaterally declared....
But the people hold up the lights which shine bravely as the darkness increases....

...and as darkness increases, so does the hypocrisy which shuns the conscience to sensitivity.
Well written!
