I've certainly seen this some where, some time, Marijo.

Thanks Rebba for Hindi translation, Keith thanks for your interest.

Shyam, what have you seen somewhere, my haiku or what...?
I posted this haiku at Aol haiku message board and in this site. The word smithereens might be a wrong word to use, but that's what I want. We are not far from the big fire, and it was windy that day (the title should have been Windy Afternoon instead of Breezy Afternoon.)Tiny fragments landed on my plants, and everywhere.

Marijo, I meant the vision itself not the haiku of course! :)
Sorry for that vague statement.
The word "smithereens" I saw clearly... it certainly got your vision across.

Thank you Shyam for explaining it to me. I got it.
