Dried straws and grass
I was scattered
Whoever gathered me
They gathered me
To burn.

#UrduCouplet
This is a translation of an Urdu couplet. Urdu couplets are part of daily life. On suitable occasions, the people of the subcontinent use these couplets to give an understanding of their point of view and different situations. This tradition is not limited to ordinary places but it is well rooted in every layer of subcontinental society. I have presented the translation of some Urdu couplets before. I hope this one is also well received by you. Keep me enriched with your valuable feedback. Thanks.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
