How do you feel when cool breeze brushes off your cheeks and literally freezes your ears? It is fantastic if it is summer and you hate it if it is chilling winter. Am I right?

I just had this thought circling in my mind, I sat on the  white sands on the beach and looked at the sky. It was a solid sky blue with patches of white smoky clouds. In the evening when the sun is setting the view is different, the same sky looks amazingly changed, the sun’s light makes it look dark mustard, burgundy or orange. I sat playing with the sand, making circles on the sand is fun, spiralling  like that of a mosquito coils we get in India, I remembered ‘ Kachua Chap Agarbatti’ . How the sand of desert would be, I thought, would it be the same or different. This is completely white and so refined, the feet just sinks into it and you feel that cold effect on your feet if it is near the beach and that dry feel if it is far. Hmmm….life is amazing, I had almost forgotten what was going in my life for a moment and I was mesmerised by the creation of God. The sun was about to set and there was that mild fragrance in air of the wet sand, kids were running in the water, girls in their swim suits enjoying splashing water on each other. There was a  ship that seemed like a ghost at the very remote end, and I see it every time I sit on the beach, is it stagnant or moving?  who could be on the ship?  what they must be doing at the same very moment when I was looking at that ship?

 I clicked a picture of the circles I had drawn with my fingers on the sand, and I recalled a plastic game I used to have during my childhood. It had a small silver balls in it with four five circles broken at different ends in a plastic cover with transparent top, in which you had to bring the small balls into the centre, moving it between those circled path. I had a green coloured game I chuckled while remembering the tit bits of the gone past. The sun was setting slowly and the colours of the sky werechanging as if someone filling the colours in photoshop , after every fifteen minutes it looked slightly different. I got up from the sand and decided to have a walk in the water, on the edge, I am scared of the vast ocean I see in front of me but still I love the beach, I decided to walk a few metres and stood there. The sun seemed to be dissolving in the ocean and now an orange streak was left on the extreme opposite end, was it the end or  was it the end of the view I could see with my bare eyes. Whatever it was, it was awesome and mind blowing. I saw a couple taking a boat in to the water and when they had gone a little far, I could identify them with the sceneries we see of the sea with the dark black shadows of the boats, it seemed so picture perfect. I clicked few shots of the sea at that time and the moments froze in my camera. The science is amazing, what was outside and not anymore the present, was in my camera, I could make the past seen in the present.

Of late, I have started to appreciate life in a broader sense, without bothering about me and my life, now I looked at just the LIFE. And it makes me happy and thankful for everything I have and not regret I don’t have. The question again visited me, how do you feel when cool breeze brushes off your cheeks and literally freezes your ears. It is fantastic if it is summer and you hate it if it is chilling winter. In the same way, it is your attitude, a thing may seem good if everything is alright but the same thing may be seem awfully bad if you feel nothing is going good. The cold breeze is the same, only the change in season changes our reaction to it. Such is life…..keep reacting!!!
