Morning Commotion

The day broke as usual..with my mom shouting at me to wake up or I would have to miss my college bus!! I hurriedly went through my daily chores and reached my bus-stop well ahead of time. so I had some time to while away which I dutiful did by watching other by-passers. A small kid holding tightly his mothers hands,dressed neatly with a hanky pinned in his shirt,was waiting for his school van.The van eventually arrived and the kid turned to his mother and with a glimpse of smile disappeared into the crowd of tiny toddlers.After a moment a hand peeked out to wave graciously his mother, a group of girls chit-chatting and riding past me in their bi-cycles (laughing more than talking I should say), an old man going on his regular morning walk( he was very much modern and cool I should say,listening to the music from his latest i-pod) and swaying to the tune of the song and chirpily smiling and saying "hello" to other morning walkers!!

Meanwhile all this commotion came my college bus . I climbed with a grunt.Same routine..back to college to listen to the same old lecture.As I got my window seat I started pondering over the little kid wit his mother..nostalgic feeling of my mother dropping me in the stop when I was a tiny tot.

How the world wakes up as the sun breaks is fascinating!! The roads which were lonely with not a soul to pass has been filled with so many colourful people as the sun raises the horizon.Each individual busy and worried of having to reach the destination in time.There are students like me waiting in their respective stands to get picked up.There are these milk-man wading hurriedly in their cycles to deliver the milk to the households.The shop keepers are busy opening their shops and arranging the stands.My bus-driver mumbling and scolding simultaneously on how rash the other drivers are (and that happens almost every day that I started believing that my driver never laughs!!).The idli-walla in the roadside preparing the hot idlis with an experienced hand moving skillful.There is so much life in the early morning that I failed to look these days(though I have travelled the same route for the past 3 years!).

The City Life is as interesting as village life.. (both in the extreme horizons) though each having its own charisma!!

Due to the fast paced world we hardly find time to introspect our surrounding!! take some time out to see them..and you find it so amazing that you start pondering how you missed these wonderful moments while you were so busy in your own world.
