Looking Outside: Happiness in simple life around...




It was a Saturday afternoon. There was no electricity at home due to power cut, so no internet access, no TV. So there I was reading a book, and wanted a break. It was hot inside, so i went outside to get some fresh air.

Not only I got fresh air, there was a cool breeze going through... I looked around and saw, dark clouds were in one corner of the sky. It was very windy. Though I knew it would start raining soon, i grabbed a chair outside and sat there. Looking up at the sky. Just looking.

Clouds were making patterns while they got drifted away by heavy winds, same caused the 2 tall trees in front of me to swing like crazy. Birds were flying around, some got caught in the wind against them and were even 'frozen' at the same point not being able to go forward. Some flew with the wind, not against. Clouds has changed a lot now. Continuous breeze was chilling me out. Then it started raining slightly, still I was there as I enjoyed this too much. Rain got heavier when missile like heavy rain drops poured down, almost saying me its 'time to get back'.

Thinking back of this very few minutes, it was just another moment before a heavy rain. Yet, I felt as if I was getting relaxed at a hotel. It was simple. I was just looking and enjoying.

I realized I had not "looked" before, though I have "seen" this many times before. So I failed to see the beauty in the simplest of things around, may be I was "too fast".
