Sound and Feeling

People need pani to live, otherwise they die.

Gali is also necessary to feel cool when things get hot.

Mara makes gaali and in turn, gaali gives us oxygen.

With this oxygen, a magu is born.

The magu cries a lot, so you feed it hannu and the sweetness of the hannu will make the magu stop crying.

Soon, the magu will grow up to be a part of the jana.

The jana is in a constant chakra of competition and extraction.

            The jana make up society, who in turn make up the rules.

                        Among this jana and society and the rules, the now grown-up magu                                      wants to sing a geeta, so the jana and the society and the rules                                                       will now nagu, nagu at the magu, magu.

This feels very mystical but also very understandable, the different terms giving a exotic tune to the piece.

Very enjoyable to read through more than once.

well done,

Chandana
