PROLOGUE

It was the final hour of the last trading day at a


nearby local fair. I somehow managed to enter the officially
closed fair. The entire arena seemed wrecked with almost
shredded infrastructure with the tired traders trudging
amidst dusty clouds. Some traders were busy uprooting
their tents while some others were busy packaging their
unsold left outs, to be sold in some other fair. A few of
them were dusting their sacs with the remaining
belongings raised on their heads. At the end of the vending
zone, I could hear a roar of laughter. When my eagerness
dragged me there, I found some vendors washing their
hands merrily for their entire burden that belonged to them
was sold out and they never had to return back to any
other fair until they deliberately gather some new burden.
Their satisfied faces made me happy too till my eyes rolled
on a few saddened traders. Their well-decorated shops
were filled with unsold goods. Their degree of sadness
was proportionate to the multifarious lights and attracting
music of their shops. May be to attain that final solace
and return with washed hands, these loaded vendors have
to suffer infinite fairs. The entire place was cleaned within
hours before midnight, but the dying fair left an aroma of
fresh thought in my mind; and watered the forgotten feeling
in the heart, the karmic basis of our very existence.
