Hidden surprises in the night!
Usually I go to bed at 10. But after being on quarantine, my whole schedule has been changed. I have been transforming myself into someone who goes to bed at 3 in the morning and wakes up at 10. (in the morning).
Some people use this quarantine to do something productive. But here, my whole self is being centered around Netflix and you tube videos. And I have recently got into BTS. Since then I have been watching their videos as if there is no tomorrow. And not to mention, I have a lot to study for my coming exams. But who cares? Realising that things that are being shown in those series and movies will never happen in my life but is actually happening in someone else's life , gives me chill. So simply stating my routine in three words, it goes like this:
Eat ,sleep and phone.
But today something has happened than the usual. I happened to walk on the terrace in the night. I went up there under the pressure of my mom. Since I was not feeling well, my mom thought that getting a walk could boost my energy. And I followed her to the terrace. To be honest that was the best decision I made in weeks.
I was merely walking up and down. But still I could feel something that I usually miss in the mornings: the dead silence. It has engulfed the whole atmosphere. Everything was motionless.Trees didn't sway as if they prostrated themselves before the over powering silence.
To break the record of silence, the wind has claimed its competition. Even though it was lacking its speed, it could manage to make the trees and its consecutive branches sway in tune. I bet that was a wonderful treat to the eyes as well as to the ears. And to add more charm to this beautiful night , there marked the entry of fireflies. At first I thought it was a person holding a light. But that thing was continuously moving up and down. And the lights they produced, have been constantly moving everywhere. I was wonder struck at the sight. They can be taken as a representative of something that brings light to the world even in times of darkness. I was at a loss for words for a second.First I saw a firefly . Then, later they have come as a group. Their beauty can drag anyone into the belief that God's creations are always perfect. But the irony is they don't know themselves about how beautiful they are on the outside. If they were humans, they could possibly be the centre of attention. While my eyes searching for more magic in nature, my ears were slowly surrendered to the loud sounds of waves crashing onto the shore, as if they were cursing someone. What a beautiful day it was indeed! Nature creates and organizes in a way that even a traumatized person can forget his trauma by merely looking into the nature's ethereal beauty and magic.
Who needs Netflix when you are awaited with hidden surprises.
