A CUP OF HORLICKS

Horlicks time is an other chance given by the clock to merge with near and dear. 

On an awesome day of my calendar at the dawn I was sitting on a stool in 'my dear balcony' and was having a cup of Horlicks. Meanwhile, my cute ears were listening to the lovely noises of crows, sparrows, rock pigeons and mynas.

After a couple of sips, the money plants nurturing in 'my balcony' started battling with me saying "Pour on us the same heavenly drink what you are drinking now".

Oh my God! How can I? Then I told them "Hey my dear little souls, it's hot and you may shrink; it's not good for your health; let me pour water on you. Is that okay? Are you happy now?".

There were no replies because they were sincerely discussing among them. After concluding all discussions one among the group told me that "Today you are permitted to pour water as you did for the past few months, but one day or the other we will demand you to pour on us the heavenly drink what you drink everyday. Be prepared to feed us".

I shook my head to satisfy them but I was astonished. My hands watered them but my heart was begging God not to send that day at which I have to pour hot Horlicks on them.
