Onset of Monsoon....

After the previous night full of daunting thoughts and restless hours, there came a morning that brought in a different experience.  It was raining since the previous night and the 2 months old kittens in my backyard were scared as hell due to the continuous thunder and lightening.

My mother had made a closed cardboard little cuboid for them to hide in and spend their night. Her over emotional and sensitive heart would  not let her sleep with those little kittos staying petrified the whole night!

New day, fresh air, moist soil, smell of the clay and people in the neighborhood all pumped up to start their day. The moment I open the curtains, entire rooms sparkles with a glittery shine, as if water and sun both are whisking in each other and throwing a bright side of the day. It seemed as if climate was wearing a silky smooth yellow layer of gold, enhancing the beauty of the morning. Wrapped in the petals were the buds, trying to force themselves to outgrow thru the tiny spaces between the petals. As if they were eager to come in this world and see the beauty of the nature, with themselves being one!  :)

If I was not a nature loving person than the daily travel of 100 km to work would have been boring. Thank god I am a person who loves mountains and woods more than beaches and waters!

The road leading to my office is full of lush green trees, covering the space with their branches in the middle and twirling into each other. There comes a junction of tri-roads where all the boundaries are fenced with gigantic and lavish coconut trees, all together giving a mesmerized look. Trees drenched with Dandelions, contribute to a different level of happiness and calmness. What more can one ask for, on this day marked by the first rains of the season. Everyone was eagerly welcoming the onset of monsoon.

Indistinct conversations and chatters amongst the office peers about the perfect climate were totally expected. They were talking about all the plans they would have made, had there been no office today!

I was no different from the crowd who wanted to climb high the mountain across the roads. It is a perfect spot for all the youngsters in this season. Standing at the top of the mountain and being able to see the beauty of the whole city, clouds touching your head and the cool breeze striking your body, giving you the tickling effect. Sipping ginger and mint tea with hot Pakodas, while bantering about the unsorted business called as "life", has its own charm....Such is the magical effect of the climate, sitting in office and dreaming about the day out of office!

This morning has brought in so much for me to spend the whole day in happy and optimistic mood. 

Satisfaction of soul is more valuable than the desires of the body....
