On a date with nature


 This post is  about a feeling , A feeling i had when i was so close to nature.

 I went on a visit to my own village after so many years.
 I had everything set, Camera Loaded, and i decided to revisit every single place i used to wander as a child.
 Lot of things had changed.

 My School, my play ground, the tiny shop where i used to buy chocolates, big tree which gave me shade when i played in summer,
 the entire colony , i could spot who stayed where, the garden my village had , the tiny winy roads.. and i could go on..

 I had a good visit to memories lane. It was so good to get back to the place where you have lived your childhood.
 But that's not it. I have lot more to share. Its about the change i observed.
 I felt like i was in the natures lap.
 My heart pounded and my breath puffed in the crisp air. The empty roads made me happy. Life in a village is so simple.
 People are so innocent.I saw kids playing on the ground,
 the feeling when i woke up to the sun rays that kissed my cheeks peeping through the window in the morning, the chirp of birds was melodious( they were so many, i couldn't even recognize them),
 the creeper i spotted near my home had so much to tell  and how can i miss the animals, many of them, and they wandered like it was their home, like monkeys, the sheep, Dogs, pigs, cows , buffalo, cat
 i even spotted rabbits and some where i felt i had lost the link with nature  we are so far away from all of this in cities.

 I was irked when i got to know that my dads office was just 5 mins by walk from our residence,
 I waste almost an hour in traffic , and all it gives me is stress and headache.

 Between all these tall apartments and Shopping malls, the bond with the nature has grown weak.
 I felt the atmosphere in the village gave me Vibrant feeling and positive vibes helped me relive the stress.

 I wan't to live in a village, because people lead a simple life there and their desires are few.
 They are content with what is endowed by nature around them.

 I had carried my camera, to capture the beauty of nature. But when i got blended with the life in a village,
 i avoided to take the pictures, Because, Some things are to be felt ,
 they can't be captured through camera....
