night sky

Watching night sky is one of my hobbies. Bet you all love it too.

I don’t know what feeling fills my heart when I watch the night sky but I think it’s a mixture of romantic, melancholic and blissful feeling.

I like walking alone on the terrace of my home, watching the sky during the twilight.

At that time, I always try to find out the brightest of all the stars because I know that it’s my granny.

Then I will smile at her and believe me she will smile back…she was so sweet, my unique granny….

You know, When I was young I used to think that, everyday a star falls down from the sky. And hence I used to stay alert to catch one ;D

Sometimes I would simply wait for a shooting star or watch the moon among the floating clouds. Isnt she pretty and majestic like a queen.?

But what do we learn in the school? That moon is the only natural satellite of the earth, we belong to milky way galaxy, stars don’t twinkle but its just atmospheric refraction bla bla bla.

Now who cares about all that when the beauty of the night sky leaves us speechless……

No science can tell you about the stars better than our “twinkle twinkle little star” rhyme that we learnt in our kindergarten.

But It’s true that as we grow up we become rational, And hence there won’t be or there can’t be any place for those silly, kiddish thoughts that we once strongly believed in!

They just become something we can simply laugh at heartily, a part of childhood memories.

Well, let me conclude this post with a short poem. (poem? Don’t think so) J

“I hear the twinkling stars

Whispering to me,

‘Come to us. Come to this zenith.’

Oh stars, I will reach there one day.

If not in my life, at least after that”

"oh ants,you are just amazing!"

Dear ant,

Today when I saw you and your friends moving on the wall of my room,

I reached for the broom to sweep you off the wall.

But then something in you left me unable to do the job I was supposed to. You made me wonder, and think.

I have seen you moving so many times but today I observed you.

What a perfection your crew has!

The queue you maintained from the source to destination left me startled.

The other day when I went to a shop, what I saw was not a line but a crowd.

 I wish the people here had your discipline.

And my gosh! Your head is so tiny and yet you don’t forget the way to your house wherever you go!

I still remember the day when I was new to this city and lost my way to homeJ

You and your friends easily lift the big bread crumbs on the floors, that are double your size!

Hats off to your hard work,and your team spirit is the eighth wonder!

Its something that most of us lack…

How beautifully do you prove that- united we stand and divide we fall.

 And science has proved that you are good in calculations too! Oh god how I struggle to do some of my maths sumsJ

All together you are just INCREDIBLE!.yet people use ant pesticides to  get rid of you. Sometimes I feel sad imagining how painfully you die. suffocating Or otherwise you silently get crushed under our feet.:(

Man thinks that he is the master of this world. I am just wondering in what way is he superior When he does not even know that even a small insect like you is the creation of god and can teach him some great lessons of life…

Dear ant, yet you don’t even have the faintest sign of ego…you are just cool and continue your work.nothing bothers you…. I admire you! lol!

Oh dear ant you are just AMAZING!
