"A Talkative Night Kavita enjoys entering the world of imagination and is often excited when she finds herself in the middle of a discussion about the universe or astronomy. One night, as she gazed at the stars, she asked Kapil, "What do you see when you look up at the night sky, studded with the beauty of the moon and stars?"  Kapil hadn't figured it out, so he looked at the sky and formed an image. She looked at him and said, "It's fine; leave it; you can tell me later." Then she continued, "Would you like to know what I saw?"  "Please go ahead," Kapil replied. "Looking upward, she began to describe the night sky: "The stars scatter without any alignment." I often think that the most beautiful view is the night sky, where the stars lack a symmetrical form or a universal rule, yet they are still amazing! So why should we confine ourselves to predefined boundaries? We can also live the life we want and still be successful."  "That's definitely a novel idea," Kapil agreed. Listen, I'm not done," Kavita urged. That's her speciality; she keeps talking without a break, and the creativity in her narrations completely captivates anyone, Kapil thought as he praised her. Kavita continued, "Hence, I have decided to be just like a star, wandering around without any chain around my collar, and be successful. I know there are various constellations, like Aquarius (the Water Bearer), Aries (the Ram), Cancer (the Crab), Capricornus (the Sea Goat), Draco (the Dragon), and many more." She then pointed her fingers at the sky and glanced at Kapil before saying, "Look up and follow my finger as I draw a pattern." She then drew a pattern connecting various stars, with the moon in the centre, and stated, "Whenever I look up at the night sky, this constellation catches my attention." "What constellation is this, with the moon in the centre of the stars?" Kapil interrupted with curiosity. "The moon represents a smile, and I call it the Kavita (the Smiley) constellation! Holding Kapil's hand, she began to laugh. Her laugh echoed the silence of the meadow where they were sitting, and the leaves on the nearby trees started to rustle. Nature, too, is immersed in her narration as well. Kapil looked up at the sky and began to gaze at the Kavita (the Smiley) constellation. For a moment, he perceived the moon to be smiling at him. Taken aback, he quickly glanced at Kavita. She was all smiles. Holding Kapil's hand, she exclaimed, "Did you see the moon smile? Did you see me in the Kavita (the Smiley) constellation?" "Yes, yes. I saw it. That's amazing!" Kapil responded, and Kavita smiled once again. She continued her conversation as the night deepened, and her narration became more interesting! Kapil enjoyed listening to her. Her beautiful smile looked heavenly under the stars and moon, and her nonstop talking echoed the surrounding meadows. "A wonderful talkative night indeed!" Kapil whispered. ©Krishnan "
