Beauty of Nature..revisited

Quite some days ago, my mom had planned to take us to this place (a temple, mainly) . All I can remember is complaining of how it would ruin the very few days of holidays that we had. My tantrums were conveniently ignored, and we were all set. My only consolation was that two of my friends were coming with us too! We set-off on the very night I finished with my exams. The onward journey was kind of boring, since all the others were did was sleep, sleep and sleep. The three of us were so used to being awake for nearly a month, couldn't do so, and ended up speaking, singing..in short, irking everyone around us.

Next, all the visits were done and I was dog-tired, sleep deprived and in short, cranky for the entire next day. We were to return back home that very day, and I don't remember feeling that home-sick ever. Just the thought of the comfort that lay stretched for me back home made me more desperate. Return tickets booked, we went on a long walk there, visiting all possible temples nearby, and all I did was complain!

Finally, it struck 2.30, when we were supposed to leave the place. Having been a bit late with the bookings, all we (the kids) got were the second to last seats, and to make it all worst, the way back was just hopeless.. It was on our way back, amidst all the complains, that I saw the most beautiful sights that Mother Nature had to show.. It was so enthralling! I pitied my brother wasn't able to see them, as he was snoring on the seat beside mine.. I turned to show my friends, only to discover that they were asleep too! All the elders who had accompanied us were fast asleep too. I just kept staring out of the window..at the small brooks of the clearest water I'd ever seen, the tiny trinklets of water that were flowing out of the crevices formed in those rocks (Oh, did I forget to mention?, it was a hill-side place we visited) Just those few views took away the month-long sleep away from my eyes, and I 'd never felt that rejuvenated ever in my life before. It even awoke the poet in me..thoughts started flowing like never before. Pity, I didn't have anything to make note of!

That, is the Power of nature. That is what we need to worship and respect. All we do is just that, only people donot realise that and speak rot about so many other things. Let me not get very philosophical here (else, this entry will never end).

We were back home and life just followed it's normal course. The days I feel dull, I just close my eyes and remember all this, and I'm back to my usual cheerful self again! So, thought it would be ideal to have all my thoughts organised at a place where it would be easily accessible.
