On
Saturday evening, my friends planned to go for a movie but I refused because
watching the same movie for twice is not worth spending money and time. So I
decided to go for something which I haven’t done. I decided to go for a hike in
the nearby hill. And believe me, it was the best experience I have ever
experienced.
I reached
on the top of the hill at exactly 6 o’clock. As I looked at the horizon, I don’t
believe my eyes. The sun was like a red giant though feeling very cool, was
about to go down the horizon. I had never seen sun as big as that was. It was
almost feeling as near to me as I could catch it easily like Hanuman.
The
birds were returning back to their nest. I sat down under a big tamarind tree.
Looking above, I saw a nest of parrot. Green parrot, with red belt on his neck
was just returned from his daily search and was feeding his little ones. There on
the other branch, a mother monkey was with the little one. The little one was
holding her tight.
The
atmosphere was completely silent though I could feel it so lively compared to
the noisy and though dead atmosphere of the life down the hill. The air was
blowing as if it was whispering in my ears and asking me to wait for a little more
while. It was not raining but though I could smell the soil. It was so fresh,
untouched by the presence of any human being. May be that is the reason
everything over there was looking so fresh, so divine, as if they all have come
directly from heaven.
For
a while I thought. To get pleasure and to see sights, people go to Manali, Goa,
Kerala. Here, nearby them there are so many places they could experience and
visit. The beauty lies in the eyes of the seers. I took out a notebook from my
bag and started scribbling on it. I know I am not a good poet but this kind of
scene can turn any dumb persons into a poet. After sometime, I looked into my
watch. It was seven o’clock. I wanted to stay over there but somehow I had to
tell myself that true happiness and joy lives for a while and this one hour I
spend in the midst of this sunset was that while for me.
