55-WORDS

The school was closed. It was a public holiday. Heading back home, he wondered if he should be happy or sad. It was a moment to celeberate he decided. He will go back running to home, change and play with his cousins in the garden. Hills made a fine background to there innocent squeals of laughter. Papa was having tea in the lawn, with mom and discussing what flower to grow in front row. Rajiv Gandhi was dead.

how many were there..?!?! :D

yeah.. iwas small too.. am be in 4th class.. and did wonder while coming back whether i should be happy about it.. I was sad. I just adored him. I dunno why.. just coz he was the PM of India..

But not many adults were worried too much about it.. they had seen life far too much to get immune to such shocks..
