"ON THE WAY TO GRANADA"

"ON THE WAY TO GRANADA"

BY

A Muslim man meets a Catholic woman

on the way to Grenada and tell her the story of his ancestors

                                         OR

A Muslim woman meets a Christian man and start

reminessing the stories of her long lost ancestor's glorious past.

By the end of the journey they fall in love...(Too obvious)

                                           OR

By the end of the journey,  they part for ever...

Too much sense of failure and exaggerated self reproach

WOMAN:

Confident

Self assertive

Have yearnings

Sad struggles

Lives now in a city of no trees

A city of no rivers

A city of no squares

             0R

WOMAN:

A woman of lack of courage

Of no confidence

Full of sad struggles and conflicts 

No self assertiveness

Hopeless yearnings

Lives in a city of no trees

A city of no rivers

A city of no squares

MAN:

A man of great confidenc

Of great courage

Full of positive yearnings

Proud of his heritage

No infriority complex

Self assertive

Lives in a city full of trees

A city full of rivers,  full of squares

A city full of flowers

              OR

A man of no confidence

Full of sad struggles

Great sense of failure

Feel all alone in the world

 Past glory all the time.

Hopeless desires and dreams

Full of sadness

Think of past glory

No sense of belonging

Complete lack of courage

In-capable of telling his story

Still want to tell it

Not proud of his present

Lives in a city of no trees

A city of no rivers

A city of no squares

A city of no flowers

Just autum leaves

Just autum leaves every where

Just autum laves

It's always autum in the city where he lives

Always autum...

A city full of fallen autum leaves...

His behavior is of a fallen autum leaf

Which looks stunning before it falls

And then is trampled under thousand feets...


THAT'S THE STORY OF THIS MAN AND THE WOMAN

WHO ARE ON THEIR WAY TO GRANADA AND MEET BY AN ACCIDENT...

THE STORY IS JUST A STORY.  IT CAN GO EITHER WAY.

BUT IT'S NOT WRITTEN YET....
