Any movement on the road that turned toward the space they were posted alerted their senses, as they positioned themselves with their weapons.
Their bodies taut, every muscle tensed, even their sweat would temporarily halt from free fall to avoid their attention from being distracted in any way. The moment they saw a living soul, they would be ready to strike. It would be a matter of minutes when the person would land up in front of their citadels and “boom”—their bombardment would start,hurled toward the target individual—the full panoply of their power.
If readers thought this to be some battlefield and the two men to be soldiers, then they wouldn’t be fully wrong. It was no less than a war that happened every day of their lives.
The only difference was that the area where they were stationed was the city road, and their forts were their vegetable carts set side by side.

Their attack was that of their cannons of words that they burst on the interested customer, who would initially face a dilemma of choosing between the two greengrocers.

So the customers got even more puzzled.

A SHORT WALK ON THE MEMORY LANE
Nostalgia is both an ache and a draught, a draught more aptly as it provides the required energy to the wistful heart and patiently remains one’s undeterred friend during lonesome times and even transporting one to the blissful world of memories far away from the tension-ridden beguiling present.

Wandering Into the Nostalgic Lane to Seal a Promise
Distantly, what caught their breadth was the seraphic view of snow-capped Himalayas at the backdrops, partially covered in the thin blanket of white clouds. The air was crisp with a hint of Nostalgia as the sound of the nearby streams whispered tales of their past.
