Fantastic Five

Train: it fascinates me every time I see it. Never have I got a full view in a single instance, it’s an engineering marvel. I am unable to distinctly define which one of these I like the most, is it the sound of speeding train or is it the wind blowing through window or is it the relative pace at which we move or the prospect of meeting new people and interacting or the thrill of starting your holiday or meeting the family back home or may be all of these. I will write a separate post on my recent train episodes.

Elephant: have you watched this animal closely? It never stands still or even sits. It always active shakes the legs, sways the trunk or swaps the ears which is kind of cute. From my childhood like every other child I have a great liking and a small fear at the sight of this animal. No other animal can replace it in my mind.

Night sky: one thing that is new every night. Yes the night sky is a good way to spend time thinking about god and his creation. The stars which twinkle like a smile, beautiful face like moon and the dark back background. The blackness of nothingness, the empty space that prevails everywhere and the mind boggling vastness makes me feel how simple yet intricate this world is. Just try to picture it in your mind and you will stand confused and fall asleep soon.

Beach: no words could explain my love for beach, it makes people forget everything and enjoy themselves. The waves which comes on and on! What else could a better place to understand nature and its secrets? Waves make you feel light and sand makes you feel very young. How often I have played in beach sand as time pass by without any worries and even without worrying about time. Being from Chennai I like the marina beach, worlds second longest beach, very much.

Child: “How to name it?” the state of happiness you attain just by watching a child. Their inept activeness, sweetness of their smile and naughtiness in their eyes cannot be found anywhere else. My heart goes with them………….
