Blessing<br />

Tells of an incident (maybe real) in Bombay, India<br />

– a pipe bursting, which suddenly provides free<br />

water to the people living in poverty around it.<br />

Water, because it means so much (especially if<br />

you consider the heat), is compared to a God and<br />

a precious metal.<br />

The mood is temporarily very happy – everyone<br />

tries to get some of the water.<br />

The ending is more uncertain, or a little bleak, as<br />

we know things will return to ‘normal’ for them.
