Late evening on a Sunday I sat in my veranda, working
On my research paper relating
To noise pollution in cities, suddenly continuous honking
Of cars on the main road was disturbing
My concentration, I went to the main road for knowing
The reason for disturbance, I saw policemen were trying
Their best to pacify the irritated occupants sitting
In their vehicles, I understood from the people standing
On the pavement, a VIP had come to this area for attending
A function, that was the reason for not allowing
Movement freely. I noticed a commotion a few metres away from where I was standing.
I noticed, a bridegroom was sitting on a decorated horse, with continuous honking
Of the horns from the vehicles, the horse was trying
To escape by pulling the reins held by the attendant, the horse started moving
Hither and thither. Seeing the behaviour of the horse, the bridegroom started feeling
Jittery, in a loud voice he along with the people in the procession were shouting
At the attendant for not controlling the horse, the bridegroom was attempting
To jump from the horse. While jumping
The turban fell on the ground, the people in the procession were trampling
The turban, the purpose of wearing the turban was for covering
His baldness, meanwhile the vehicles started moving,
The bridegroom quickly got into a car and people were dispersing,
The attender of the horse sat on the horse, due to frustration he kept whipping
The horse.
