He was ready with a piece of paper and a pen. He looked out of the window and saw two crows sitting on the terrace of a building. He had seen a lot of description about pigeons making love, but he was amazed to see that a pair of crow did the same thing. Their color might be the reason why they were not that famous. But Raju knew love sees no color, no barriers.
Raju was looking for an inspiration to start the poem. He was happy to see the crows but they did not inspire him to jolt down any line.
After another two hours of thinking and seeing that the page is still all blank Raju got up and walked to the rest room. He washed his face and sat again on the bed.

He saw the frozen curry and five slices of bread. He took it out quickly. Raju put the curry in the owen and then followed it up with the bread. Raju finished this lunch far quickly and then went off to the bed. When Raju woke up it was 5pm in the evening. Raju saw outside the window again, he saw fair amount of traffic. Raju then got dressed up, double checking if the paper having the poem is in the pocket. Raju then got out of the house, he locked the door and
