It was a storehouse of unimagined treasures and one of the treasures was a religious one. with a blackish face and hair dipped in gold, the buddha statue begins from kathmandu, nepal. it has its eyes shut denoting harmony and it has a soft and polite grin on it's face. it has it's hair made up of specked copper material seeming like golden choco chips on black- frozen yogurt. it has a gold point on the extreme center of it's eyebrows for a focus point seeming like a fortune between residue it is just a statue but still pays off great importance in Nepal. it is a huge sign of peace just with a small size.

A quite Sunday afternoon, I am standing in the balcony deep in thoughts and suddenly my peace is disrupted by a commotion. I am trying to figure the reason of the chaotic situation and my eyes fell on the 20-story building in front of my house. Thick black cloud of smoke is emerging out of the building. the pleading cries of the victims of the fire is being heard. I am overwhelmed by fear of sense of danger. the inferno is dancing a devilish dance and is ready to take everything that comes its way. The evil flames are greedily engulfing the incinerating building. The sky is thick with smoke and is witness to this tragic incidence. a bedlam of frightened people, running helter skeltar to save their lives from the destroying flames is being seen. The fire which seemed out of control is being tamed by the brave firemen who are also comforing the frightened victims and fighting mightily with the evil firestorm!

The picture of the old woman reflects her face lined with experience and wisdom. Drooping eyelids which she could barely see out of, has faded blue eyes. Dark complexion, broad nose and a beaming smile, her face is a road map to her glorious past. Every wrinkle tells about her struggles and survival. She has grey dandelion braided hair, her hair is a crown of the faded glory. Her ears are pierced with round metal earrings. Wearing a navy blue cap, she is also wearing chains and a blue coat. She looks like as if she is from a poor family. She has grayish brown thin eyebrows and thin lips. The lady has a look of satisfaction on her face and looks very caring and responsible. By looking at this picture we get inspired to find happiness in hard and worse situations.
