Early mornings :) When we are little kids, its a torture to get up early in the morning!The alarm would ring, consciously unheard, waiting for the louder alarm to ring again and hoping that the latter fails to do so!The louder alarm...well mom who else..She'd come early in the morning totally aware of the ungreatful cheapness that we have to show towards the alarm clock;) and then follows the line of the day!"Oh!Already, I just slept a while back:("..and quickly a reply is shot back.."your while back has already completed ten hours!! Better be up"..how cruel is that! Whatever said and done, those were blissful days, when all the worries were definately not our baggage, but were taken care of by others..lol..blissfully carefree.
But as time passed mornings took a new role in my life, ones that brought out the positive from within..
Today as I sat in the lawn, the morning had yet another blissful flavour to it, smeared with fresh dew drops, under the clear blue sky, accompanied by the soft rays of the sun, which brought down the temperature in a jiffy. The cool breeze made sure, that our mind opens up to embrace all thats good in the world.The birds went about doing their work, building nests on the ever welcoming arms of the friendly trees, the butterflies danced around, enjoying the fragrance of the flowers which were happily dancing with the wind. The moving clouds seemed like a light blanket covering the sky step by step, while the rain waited for its chance to shower the earth with its gentle downpour and I amongst all this, could just say a few words, "Thank you God for a beautiful morning!"
Time indeed reveals the real taste of life :)
Childhood Memories, Sana!! I am highly impressed. This itself was so clear when I was in the tenth standard. I remember this particular incident when I was in the seventh standard and I had forgotten to put off my alarm on a Sunday: so here I was up, with all the uniform, catching the bus, running to school, only to discover that the school was closed as it was a Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteAll in all, a very beautiful post. Extremely well-written.
Exceedingly well written sana. Inspires one to be a early riser :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Akshay thats hilarious..u kw the same thing happened with me during my maths exam..as it is I am a zero at maths and then to top it all I landed a day before the exam..had to go back..a waste of a day:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mani..early mornings are beautiful!!
You are right. being woke up to a screaming alarm clock is no way to get up. They do make alarms now a day that wake you to music. I certainly can remember when I was young and hated to get up in the mornings, but my mom woke us , not a clock. Thank you for coming by, have a nice weekend.

I hate waking up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteIt was my dad who used to wake us up. Now I am doing the waking up.I thought early mornings were a thing of the past when I stopped going to college. Then I became a mother.
Life is so unfair.

One can visualize as one reads. You have the gift of writing, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteAs you grow older the meaning of mornings change. First you are the child who doesn't want to wake, then you the young who sees optimism in the morning,then you are the parent who has too many tasks- waking kids just one of them, then you are a old fellow who looks vacantly into another morning.
