After a hectic day behind the mask.. I had a glimpse at the night sky.. the stars were at their best.. and the moon was yet again shining.. The glimpse helped me a lot. Starry sky has been a tonic for me. always! Though I can identify only one constellation on the sky, Orion, Visible during winter in the Northern Hemisphere., yet I have always stood gaping at the wonder of the nature.
When I was in Badlapur, I used to go to the temple on top of the hill., adjacent to that was another hill which had a big water tank, and big tubes(around one meter diameter) came out of that tank. I used to climb on top of one of those tubes almost everyday, and look. If it was night, I lied down there and I had nature’s beautiful life painting in front of me.. I used to admire the stars and the moon and whatever put those in the sky. If it was day, I had a beautiful view of the farms and the villages and the horizon, where the sky met the land. The vast amout of space that I viewed, and the night sky, used to stir something inside me. I always walked back from that place with a smile on my lips and wonder that nature gave to my eyes.
I still feel the same, when I look up the night sky.
silence
