A New Dawn

The security gates opened to the breaking of a new dawn, the sky had opened its eyes only by a little, disappointed to find out that it was morning and the time to get up had come. It lazily opened its eyelids and the shining eyes came rising up slowly as the bus covered the way to the craft and bestowed us with the beauty called sunrise. The sky became bright gradually and so did my mind, after all I was travelling to my native after a long time. The passing of every second was filling me with a weird happiness, weird because I was confused whether I was happy or content, whatever it be it was subtle and I enjoyed every moment with a smile stuck to my face.

The sky was hazy as if it was not in a mood to wake up and take a sick leave, unfortunately the manager did not approve. From far I could see some hills, the top of which were being munched by the clouds, I wondered if among them were Nandi hills as well - A place to experience the true beauty of nature rising from the slumber from your very own eyes.

It took a while for the craft to board and I somehow managed to put my bags in the rack with my injured wrists. Now that you are wondering how I injured them, well it was a case of ‘Hit n Run’, but that is another story I will share separately. While boarding I witnessed something I cannot resist to share. If someone could give a competition to a beggar for tidy clothes, it had to be this guy who sat opposite to me in the escort bus. He had managed not to wash his jeans from the times when jeans were not even invented or may be clothes as well, indeed I should refer to stone age. I was speechless by the condition and probably many others were too, so I simply offered my prayers for the person who would sit next to this chap, fortunately it wasn’t me and yes that was also a part of my prayer ;)

The craft approached the runway, and I was pushed into my seat when it suddenly picked up the pace, and every time that happens I wish I could sit in a car and feel that speed. I want to press that ‘Red button’ which you would never find in your own car but in sci-fi movies or cartoons. In no time I was hanging in air (for those who understand the term ‘absolute’ and ‘relative’, u know I was hanging in air). The clouds were dense, the visibility was reducing and then it crossed that layer, I have no clue what it is called or any such layer even exists, but it was the layer of the clouds, and all I could see was white cotton spread all over the earth. I was having trouble naming it as there were so many things that I could relate it to at the same time, and I don’t mind if you laugh at my minds weird creativity but the things I could relate the clouds to ranged from an artist’s drawing, a humongous Jacuzzi filled with foam :P Cotton’s mission to overcome human race and what not. I was truly mesmerized by the beauty of the sky, which seems so nice from down beneath, but from above it was even more admirable. This was not my first trip by air but surely this experience was the best. I felt so close to the nature and wished if I could stand outside the craft on the top or wings, but I know I’ll be a part of nature if I do that :P

There are many things in life we love to do, forget our routines, responsibilities and everything else which bind us from our releasing our inner selves. So here I was relaxing and enjoying doing nothing and smiling. Sometimes you should also let go of yourselves and let the you within enjoy, then only you can see the New Dawn.!!
