Morning walk! - Not just physical.

How do you feel about this day?? Hasn't pass yet? good? exuberant? pathetic? Whatever, that has no accord with what continues here. Everyday depends upon you and the answer differs by how you put it. Well, moving to the point, did you take your morning walk (jog does it too..) today?? Excellent. I have nothing new to say about that, yet I wanted to remind you how beautiful a morning walk can make your day.

Hold on! I don't decipher the shape it has added up to your body nor the sweat it litres neither your digestion ability, I am one among you using mirror after my morning walks to make me happy, though.
May be many of you have already experienced but me, I decided for today, not to look at my walk regime with eyes for health and consciousness. I was ready to enjoy a way beyond. The first thing I did was, I unplugged my ears from my headphones. I slowed down my pace of huggy muggy walk and cleared up my ears, eyes and mind to things around.



The first thing gripped my attention was a couple walking by, reasonably old (reason to be followed :P ). I remembered just seeing them daily. Their slang conveyed to me they were possibly brahmins. They were munching gossips on the upcoming marriage of some 'X'. I let my ears open to their funny family principles and innocuous politics, nose-up tact-isms that tickled my ribs yet I managed to veil it. A sudden whim of me, shortly entering a family life gave me a quirky jolt and I soon shut my mind off from that and came back to actual, by the time the couple were far ahead me and I could not hear them anymore.

Then something diverted my attention towards a cliche, ever-quoted reason for joy, watching children playing by. The raucous glee and ignorant innocence is always a bliss to watch. It pulled back my memory lane to the days when I was one among them, jumping high on monkey bars, may be who knows? I would have entertained some aunty passing by. The morning sun rays lightened up the kids so magically hat they looked as angels to me.

Through the lane after a minutes walk, was a small temple near to the compound. The smell of in-scent sticks, camphor, the flavour of prashadh, the aroma of flowers and the bell sound and of course the vibration of early morning prayer, was just a soul soothing minutes that played a king size role in making my day better.

Few minutes later, I realised I could not resist my headphones too. But for a change from rumbling akon and enrique beats, that i use to gear up my walk,I switched on a flute instrumental which was almost an obsolete playlist option. Here was a "wow!" waiting for me. I have no guess when i sat on the wooden chair in the park eyes closed. I went a winged tour aroung the sky and came back. It played tunes through my mind nerves and senses. I felt an addiction that is still lingering in my mind.

When the music stopped I opened my eyes on a butterfly happily swinging in air and I mapped the sky with this tiny cute pointer. Nature had played wonders on its wings. This little fairy din't fail to give me a complex about its beauty and freedom, the two demanding words.

I slowly scanned on everyone out there. Spectrum of people, lives, trees, plants, lamp post, butterflies and every little thing with whom I have started my this day is not ready to give up with anything today. they were are and will be in action. Whatever happens the day will go on. May be the day awaits with surprise, shock, sadness, boredom and so on. Nothing is going to stop them, so am I. The spiritual, philosophical, witty. quirky. dread influence the "observation break" (might be as the one, 'comfort food') had on me was rejuvenating. Luckily it was a holiday and my mind stayed like a peaceful stream the whole day chewing in the impact. :)

Thanks for your patience.

  Have a happy day!! :)
