Next day they met at an open area in the evening where a crane was at the work , digging the sand & making tunnels for new telephone links.They watched it, breathing alfesco,with delight , like children. "madhu , in our childhood, we like every thing .....the crane lifting sand , the labourers bearing the bricks over their heads, building walls , plastering and..."
"arent we enjoying now"

"no , i dont agree . Man loves the nature . He loves it when he finds leisure.he finds liesure when he is in love.lovers play goose berry.they prefer to be alone,alone with nature."
"in love .... in love with"

"i....i......iam ...iam going to submit the ultimate report on the poluution factor.and it may well abandon the public to use the water in any way. a lot of factories were shut down , and a lot very soon... until they come up with their plans to purify the discharge."

They watched something floating in a distance.As it neared , it appeared a man.He was her brother .He was raving like a mad man & waving his hands in fury as he watched patanjali & the girl talking very close to each other.He almost hit patanjali with his thundering hand & snatched his sister by her waist & was dragging her off. "you looking for more"

"till heart"
"what. what did you say. you must have been a writer , a dialouge writer for cinema. it would be bettrer both for u and us.blood just dont mix."
Patanjali dropped down over the sand & raved insolent"but i still love madhu, madhu,madhu,"scratching his hands over the ground and coughed. She thew her brother away and hugged patanjali . "what does your arroance mean?ye! you bitch....o.k....o.k....but you have to take her away with you. Where ever you go as soon as possible,lest she would get married to some one else."
