Bliss by the beach

Often, the nomad in me emerges very strongly and when I can't leave Bombay due to personal and professional compulsions, I feel stifled. My utterly complex cerebrum invariably creates revolt and then it is impossible to stay within the confines of my home no matter how hard pressed I am for time!  


You and I, in this beautiful world 
Day before yesterday was one such occasion when I experienced it all. I got out of my cool, Vetivar roots (khus) aroma environment, changed the route for my evening walk to catch glimpse of Sunset and to embrace some sea breeze. 



It is all about perspective   
Have you ever held and looked closely at grains of sand and marveled at mysterious, elusive charm it holds? Every single grain catches our attention in a magical realm of infinite discoveries! There is something pious about seemingly lifeless sand, whether it is abundant desert sand or at beach. 


Mesmerising colours strewn all over the beach by setting Sun
Sand with dunes, soft peaks or patterns, creating abstract of different dimensions with every passing moment is always mesmerizing. 

The happy days of childhood
A few moments of serenity at the beach and a lot of stray thoughts from entire being of my universe invade in my mind at such moments. I just let it all into my consciousness without making any attempt to process, sort or analyze. I am too busy gathering sea shells, being lost in  its magical world. 

Evening walk by the beach
Children playing with sand, making castles, people enjoying the walk, lovers holding hands and getting cozy, fishermen getting their boats ready, hawkers selling their goods, old couple smiling, waving at the children and perhaps remembering their own, a wrinkled, solemn faced man sunken in silence absorbed in thoughts, children of all ages flocking at the ice slush stall ...so many simple pleasures of life all around bringing beautiful energy! 


Abstract created by the Sun rays 
There is something sublimely fulfilling about watching Sunset by the beach! Listening to waves whispering can be spiritually intoxicating experience! I stand transfixed, misty eyed with mellow opulence, contemplating the slow calming of the season. From far away wafts the fragrance of wet earth.  As I return, all those tears felt in sense of wonder at the beach make me feel more beautiful. I can't ask more from life at that moment. 


The serene Sun set
