_The Music _
 It is a pompous September morning The music continues unabated in 
the orchestra hall with all glitters and glamours, mellowing colours, sounds and
motions. I don’t just understand why I falter suddenly when the music gathers momentum.
And then… and then the gradual diversions slowly dwindle the sanguine experience
of the genuine percipient ones. Why do you stand here? I have already given you 
word to meet at the appointed hour behind the orchestra hall.
