Watching sunrise is something I love. However, do not always get the chance due to my laziness. Earlier when I was in Whitefield I was able to watch it daily since the balcony was east facing and there were no construction in front. There was a farm house and the Sun rise from behind the trees always appears great. I was able to photograph it very well then. But then we moved to Murgeshpalya and watching a Sun rise became a dream as there were concrete all around. Now, I am in Panathur and it’s just like staying in a village and enjoying the beauty of nature. The chirping and hooting of birds break the sleep and watching the pigeons fly in flock feels like a blessing to me. I hope I get to see such beauty at our own house at Sarjapur. For now only D is staying there setting up the house. I even recorded the sounds of the birds once at 5 AM and even when I listen to those sounds those moments become alive in my memory.
I have taken so many sunrise pictures, but I had become so lazy to blog or share it in FB. I will upload those pictures some other time.
In this busy life sometime we become so busy that we overlook many beautiful things of the nature. There are certain people, certain things that we interact daily. However, we ignore those subtle things because we are so busy with our life that our mind doesn’t take notice of those. And one day when we feel like spending some time noticing those people or the beauty of the nature, we became amazed by so many things that were there but we never took notice of it.
And when someday we take some moments to watch the nature and notice a thing that has been near us for a long time, it surprises us.
Something of this sort happened with me day before yesterday. I had been watching Tulsi (Holy Basil) plant for a long time and also its buds that become the seeds and that are offered to God/Goddess. However, I never took notice of its flowers and was always wondering how come it turns into seeds without any flower blooming in it. I was wrong the flowers bloom and stay for around a day or two and then they fall. When I saw it day before yesterday I was surprised and asked my mom to have a look at it too. She said she had seen it already. I gazed at those tiny lavender color flowers for a long time. Took notice of every detail and felt great that I saw that flower that day. Yesterday my father plucked those along with its seed form and offered it to God during prayer. I took some photographs of the flowers. Today morning I was watching the plant again while watching the sunrise and taking every beauty deep into my breath. And I saw some buds blooming from another one. I took the photograph of it too along with the sunrise photographs.
The more I see these pics the more fascinated I feel.
