The Pool – by John Eyton

There is a dark pool in a valley formed by the foot of God. By the pool, a white temple and a holy man with three straight lines in yellow paint. One day Mohammedans plunder the temple, kill the holyman and throw him into the pool. Rushes grow on the clear pool, people fear going near it as they hear sounds of wailing and shadowy figures in the night. Years later, the area is assigned to an Englishman who turns the place into an estate and dredges the pool though it is outside his area. The villagers resent it but he heeds not. When he sees people burning their dead by the pool, he writes to authorities asking them to stop them but they interfere not as the pool is outside the boundary of the estate. One day he sees a holy man by the pool and writes to the officials warning them that a temple may be built next on the spot. He catches malaria and is bed ridden for 15 days. When he recovers he visits the poolside and finds a white temple there.

Few days back my daughter was very worried about the untimely death of her friend  i read it on vipin.choudhary's facebook
 गहरे सदमे में हूँ अभी अभी पता चला है कि मैंने अपने एक नन्हें दोस्त तरुण सहरावत को हमेशा के लिये खो दिया है, तहलका में फोटो जर्नालिस्ट तरुण जब भी कहीं बहार से आता तो हमेशा अपनी तस्वीरें शौक से दिखता अब सिर्फ यादे शेष हैं. शोमा चौधरी की रिपोर्ट
