Ghunghuti

Ghunghuti is a word in Sambalpuri language This is a noun used as both singular and plural, Very small flies basically fruit flies Which are gnats and fungus gnats, These are referred as ghunghuti! They are very small black or brown flying insects They fly around windows and potted plants, When any fruit or vegetable is rotten And when fungus grows and remained for long And the dirt is not washed away, Then out of such fungus each gnat takes birth, When the body of gnat is manufactured by nature, A soul drives this and very small fly flies around. Due to fungi many such small flies take birth When they fly sometimes they are visible And sometimes they are not visible too, But they fly in mass and produce sound, Their mass berhaviour totally amazes us, Near fire they do not go at all and fear, When you point your any finger towards them They fly away from their position, They think about their safety and security! Such gnats love to suck the fresh juice From fresh fruits and vegetables, Where they sit, there fungi grow soon, They love more pumpkin and cauliflower, Even they stick for hours and suck juice, They are very sensitive and they sing together, Although their singing is not audible to us Still we can hear it in deep silence As their sweet tune is produced in very fine wave, They swing in pair, dance and run, If carefully you will observe you will notice, Observing them very carefully in love, We notice their organizational behaviour! They live happily in own community Although they get their lives for short time, But they are wonderful in God's creation, Every ghunghuti has own dream to materialize, Ghunghuti are very clever and soon they fly. © Kumarmani Mahakul,12 March 2019.
