A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it
for the first time, virtues and vices floated around and were bored,
not knowing what to do.

One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered together and
were more bored than ever.

Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea:"Let's play hide and seek!"

All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness shouted: "I
want to count, I want to count!" And since nobody was crazy enough to
want to seek Madness, all the others agreed.

Madness leaned against a tree and started to count: "One, two, three.."

As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went hiding.
Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon...
Treason hid in a pile of garbage...
Fondness curled up between the clouds...and
Passion went to the centre of the earth....
Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the
lake...
whilst Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.

And Madness continued to count: .... "seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..."

By this time, all the vices and virtues were already hidden -
except Love.

For undecided as Love is, he could not decide where to hide.
And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to
hide Love.

Madness: "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..."

Just when Madness got to one hundred.........Love jumped into a rose bush
where he hid.
And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

As Madness turned around, Laziness was the first to be found,
because Laziness had no energy to hide. Then he spotted Tenderness in
the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and Passion at
the center of the earth. One by one, Madness found them all - except Love.

Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love.

Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness: "You only need to find Love, and
Love is hiding in the rose bush."

Madness grabbed a wooden pitchfork and stabbed wildly at the rosebush.
Madness stabbed and stabbed until a
heartbreaking cry made him Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his
face with his
hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of blood from his eyes.

Madness, so anxious to find Love, had stabbed out Love's eyes
with a pitchfork. "What have I done! What have I done!" Madness shouted.

"I have left you blind! How can I repair it?"

And Love answered: "You cannot repair my eyes. But if you want to do
something for me, you can be my guide."

And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always
accompanied by Madness.

I rather thught this was the type of things the YO community lapped up.
I found this quite profound,mystical and quite mythical.
Sadly, i was once again mistaken.
A massage to admin,i seriously think the english section and all things related to english should not be a part of YO.
it seeems the only way to b recognised,appreciated or befriended is by speaking hindi
this is sadly not the international community of poets of Indian decent i thought it to be
MAYBE YOU COULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

I am sorry how you feel, and may be true.....but still there are people who appreciate both poetry and prose and obviously other stories in english too....It does nt get so much attention as Urdu/Hindi work due to obvious reasons, but still "English sections" are an important part of Yoindia, without which, Yo is not complete....So please dont be dissappointed by lack of response.

Nice sharing Ziyaad !!
