Ye baat h 16 August ki shaam thi main bass apne ghar ki paas waali market mein ghoom raha tha...Abhi takk 15th August Independence Day ki raunak khatam nahi hui thi...Ab kal raat kyunki ek ladki ko dekha tha mele mein haan ab usko pehli baar dekhte he Dil mein kuch kuch sa hone laga ab uski khoobsurti kuch aise thi.... Like a pearl up on the ocean in the setting sun!! Aur uske aas paas Aisa khushi waala mahaul lagg raha tha....(Chalo ab uss raat ki baat aage karenge abhi Aaj pe wapis aate hai)...
