Today I am very happy I am getting my turn to fetch water after a week But I am sad too, Because, someone stole away a bucketful of water from my house today I reported the incidence to the police, I don’t think that they will be able to trace the thief But, I will not leave this here Today my body feels light I got a change to take bath with 3 mugs of water after a week My heart is even lighter Because, my son had the opportunity to have a glass of water in his tiffin Some guest visited me with an excuse of drinking water But, I cleverly sent them away without giving them a drop of water to drink I am annoyed with the borrowers who borrow water but never pay back I owe twenty-five bucketful of water from my neighbors Today I have to go to Rani Pokhari (historic pond in Kathmandu) to watch a football match there Once, it used to be full of water but it’s hard to believe now Yesterday, an elderly showed me a dug well and said, “Son, there used to be a lot of water in this dug well.” Oh! I dreamt of collecting water from the same dug well throughout the night Nowadays, I am embarrassed with these fantasy dreams Let’s start from ourselves! Save Water! Save Life!
