Electrifying Moon and Coco-cola bottles

 Young waiters were running around non-stop, serving people at different tables with their favorite items. The atmosphere was very interesting and amusing. Families, young and old, had occupied lawn space. Different partitions provided different facilities to different people, who had come there to spend time with friends and families. The lawn space looked mesmerizing, the moon had appeared in complete circle, no artificial lights were around to mar that beauty. The people were talking in hushed tones with their favorite drinks in hand. It was a perfect scene. The milky white light of the moon had covered the whole area. Palm trees planted at the borders of the garden had stretched their shadows on the lawn. The light filtered in through the palm trees and fell on the grey-green grass, and created some weird design of light and shade. The winter cold was a little bit harsh. Therefore, the human bodies demanded something hot and spicy to ward off that chilling cold. An old Hindi film song came floating in the background and at some distance; a large screen was screening the visuals of the same Hindi song. The atmosphere seemed romantic. The old songs continued for some time with the electrifying moon magic.


Suddenly, the big screen switched to cricket show on demand. The cheer up girls appeared in life size on the screen like angels. The people from the lawn also cheered and waved to the girls in return, forgetting their girlfriends and wives for a moment. In the cricket game, as the scores went on raising high, the electrifying moon was declared clean bowled out for zero. With the appearance of coco-cola advertisements during the short breaks, demand for the bottles increased, along with finger chips and fried peanuts. More and more people arrived as time passed and joined the cricket club. Having bowled out for zero, the moon started diminishing, as the demands went high for coco-cola bottles and finger chips, on the other side.  Values of life change as time rolls on.
