Co-existence

Far from the noise of the city, I was amidst this melodious silence of nature. I could see those mountains in Arunachal on one side and the lush green meadows of Assam on the other. Inside a house made of bamboo, the claustrophobia of bricks was absent. Confinement was not punishing for a change. Such surrealism.
There was a house on the backside where two ladies were engaged with the daily chores. Inside their house, I saw this huge natural bee hive. On being asked why they let it grow so big inside their house, they hit a very fundamental note. “They don't hurt us. Why should I take away their home? There are some snakes who live here too. We let them stay too. Isn't this the way it was meant to be, for us all, to co-exist?!”
