I hate going back home after 8...I'd have love to Apparate (a process of appearing and disappearing in and out of places to shorten travel time - if u had to read the meaning in these brackets, go scold urself for not reading harry potter!) back home in such cases !
Even then, I feel good that I've completed a certain share of work in that 1 and a 1/2 hour of my life that I give to my work.
On a regular night, I would have been utterly tired trying to fit my legs in my Co. bus with aweful legspace for ppl like me (yeah i got long legs..and don't make fun of that!) ...
But the sky I witnessed made me forget all my exhaustion! A clear blue-gray canvas held the only spot of white space in it, like the white spot was a prince and the canvas its satin carpet, on which it lay lazily, yet majestically.. as if hundred million laps came together to make their only baby sleep..
I looked at this beautiful sight and was amazed at how much sky i got to see at once in Mumbai! I was shocked! I always complained of the skyscrapers eating up on the amount of sky for me to gaze. And yet, here it was in the most unthinkable places..the chembur-mankhurd road.
The next I looked at the moon, a wisp of cloud formed under it which made it looked like a grey hairy puppy playing with its favorite white shiny ball..and I laughed at my own childishness...but nevertheless, what i'd conjured was a playful sight!
The moon kept me company till the Vashi bridge and thats when it turned prettier... I did not know a little change of background could make so much of a difference. The water sprinkled with the moonlight was a sight to see..!! (but not to be enjoyed alone..). I enjoyed the sight till i started seeing familiar shapes of streetlights, the toll naka and buildings enter the canvas..and thats when my revierie was broken..but the pleasure remained.
the bus reached my starting point for another journey...time to catch the 9:04 PL!!! time to be home! Run Hemangi Run!
I just loved reading this post...maybe because Im a dreamer too & I've had my own 'moony' moments! :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the way u wrote 'as if hundred million laps came together to make their only baby sleep' and 'wisp of cloud formed under it which made it looked like a grey hairy puppy playing with its favorite white shiny ball'. I could visualise it all!!! :)
I know what 'apparate' means, thanks to Harry Potter :)) oh and I wish we could do that too!
Great post!!! Masta lihilays!

ReplyDeletejust a couple of days back i had a similar exerience. i was at home and suddenly i saw bright, shiney, silvery moon, playig hide & seek by hiding behind the soft & pure white clouds. after a very long time i was reminded of the beauty of the moon.
I can so relate to this Hemu.. Moon has always been a source of creative inspirations. A lovely read, keep it up.
