Road To Memories

47'C. Peak summer time in Nagpur. The ball of fire native to the sky (the sun- Mr. Sun here) drinking away all your resistance to bear the scorching heat. Sizzling rooms and floors. Sweat dripping down your face,wetting your back,your t-shirt. You can't even think of stepping out of the house! And a road trip!?Impossible!
But still,nature's most mesmerizing element summoned me.Again. I was reluctant thinking about Mr. Sun,who wasn't ready to calm down. But then I couldn't refuse their warm call. They even gave me the word to provide all the comfort and quietude I wanted. And it was after a year that they remembered me.
I got ready to give up my sleep and left at 7.15 to meet them,because it's only once a year! My eyes were glued to the window even though the eyelids didn't agree to stay open. Accompanied by Dad's some old classics,and our grumpy faces and whimpers, I waited patiently for these verdant friends of mine to arrive.

Within a short span of time,they greeted me with their greenery! The trees, I passed by, in myriad hues of green, refreshed my soul. Their leaves, fluttered like a butterfly, taking the help of the breezy wind. Alongside, some dry trees with their rustic fine branches accompanied by the artistic tinge, ignited some kind of unexplained happiness inside me. Some huge tall trees,on their way to bloom,with their tiny cherry red buds made the process of metamorphosis even more marvelous. And the white-barked trees with their haphazardly bloomed lemon green leaves and little yellowish blooming buds got my eyes fixed out of the window for more! The sun rays passing through the lush green canopies created an exceptional natural bokeh. 
Providing a new scenic view, the woods crossed my path. Amidst the dry,brown,blooming trees was that one lush green tree,standing out in the ochre sand,making the scene an enthralling one!

Oh! The roads! They made a perfect,smooth roller coaster ride! The loops,swirls,turns,ups and downs at 120 kmph on the highway catered for an excellent one! And the tickle I felt in my belly signified a blissful experience!
And then....Ouch!The bumps and the tiny pot holes,authentic to India's roads,made me jump out of my place,and my head banged on the roof! 

Finding solace in the lap of nature, my favourite friend made its way out of the bag- My novel! Reading with the never-fails-to-amuse nature in the background was its own kind of a delight! Soon,their tranquility put me off to a peaceful sleep. 

Suddenly I heard someone shouting, "Wake up Sakshi! Wake up! We'll reach home in a few minutes!" 
An orangish pink sky with a tinge of purple and cotton-like clouds with the sun shining as bright as it could,behind them, about to go down, come in front of my eyes bidding a heartfelt good bye and assuring me that the nature would never fail to enrapture me. And a hope to meet again soon.

View IT!

I was in class 8,when I realized my vision was turning blur. No wonder, I was sure something had gone wrong with my eyes. After visiting the doctor,my instinct came out to be correct! I had got specs. I've had always dread wearing specs,which I still do. But one day something unusual happened. I just kept my specs somewhere and wasn't able to find them. While running around the house, I just turned my eyes towards the window and started looking out.The view was blur,but amazing. Myopia, a defect of the eye,turns your distant vision blur. It made realize how beautiful things can be when viewed from the eye of your imagination. I wonder how wonderful things appear to people who are blind or have an impaired vision. Ofcourse,beautiful,with a blend of their imagination! The trees,stars,sky,street lights and all the other things when viewed, have an essence of my imagination.Myopia took my imagination from a lower to a higher level. And yes, being a nature admirer, I've accepted Myopia as a gift.
Let me describe some of my wierd imaginations!

The bright ray of the sun,when passes through the canopy of a tree,makes the tree shine and happier. Or maybe as if someone hung white pearls on its branches just to enhance the beauty of the tree.The clouds,they look even and white as snow.With a normal vision people try to figure out different shapes of clouds. It appears lovely and everyone enjoys doing that. Isn't it? But with a blur vision,it's all the more interesting and enjoyable. 

The street lights appear as beautiful lanterns hanging from the sky. They are there just to make sure that the roads make a drive more enjoyable and they also lighten up the city. The night sky with a brightly shining moon and the twinkling stars together form  a picture perfect scenery.

The raindrops, are soft transparent marbles falling down from the heaven to make a person's day.The way they scatter after touching the ground, resembles glass marbles falling from a height.
I know all this sounds a bit wierd and funny. But this is what imagination is all about. Life becomes more interesting by imagining things in a wierd way. Look, what Myopia has done to my imagination! It has given it a makeover and boosted it too. I now look at this amazing world in a new and positive way.
I don't know whether you find this interesting,funny,weird or kidish? But,because of Myopia,life became a bit more interesting. The same thing maybe annoying or irritating for someone. But what will one get in being annoyed or irritated with life. Myopia would definitely not leave your life(unless you get your operated). There's no harm in looking at a positive way of enjoying and living your life.  Don't let these small things stop you from living your life. Make them a part of your life and enjoy it! Take them in a positive way and make sure that your life is worth it.

"La vie en rose"

It's the French way of saying,'I am looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses.'
