LIFE :A COLON;

life 

When I sit and think

life seems a blink

A single second

merely beginning and end

Rest is, too waste

A COLON 

That marks a new beginning

Has itself no meaning

No use.

As a bulb fuse

People talk a lot

Subtract and add

Finally a zero

No Villain

No hero

Just a vowel

To fill the space

No sound

No grace

May be proud

May regret

Truth is one

Get it save

All paths of glory

leads to grave.

Ten on 10(The Enemy by Pearl S Buck)

1.      Ten on 10 (The Enemy)  

 

 

1.   1   Sadao was a famous Doctor and the scientist. He was not sent with the troops because he was perfecting a discovery to heal the wound entirely clean moreover the General was not well and could need a operation anytime.

 

2.   2    Sadao was an obedient son and caring husband. He met Hana his wife in US at the professor’s house but he did not fall in love with her until he was sure that she was a pure   Japanese girl. They married when they returned to Japan in traditional way  with the permission of his father.

 

 

3.   3    On day when Hana and Sadao was standing at the Varanda they saw a man coming out of the sea. They rushed to help him. The man was white. He was shot and seriously injured .Blood was rushing out of his wound. With the help of his cap they identified that the man was American Sailor.

 

4.   4    They faced the dilemma whether they should help the man or whether they should hand him over to the police. First they decided to throw him back into the sea. However they decided to shelter the man.Sadaoa decided to operate him.

 

5.    5   They told their servants about the presence of the white man in the house. The servants were totally opposite of their approach. The Gardener told that the master must not treat the white man. The man was first shot by the gun, then he was wounded by the sea and the rocks if the master would save him then all these things will take revenge from them.

 

6.  6     Yumi, their maid refused to wash the man. As a result Hana herself washed him .She also helped Sadao during the operation. The operation was successful and the man got well.

.
