The summer
mornings commence with the lucid rays of the sun penetrating the blue sky. The
world gradually stirs awake from its deep slumber .A general buzz of activity
prevails. Unlike winter mornings which are cold , grey, unfriendly and
unwelcome ,summer dawns are refreshing and lively. Nature itself welcomes it
with open arms. Birds, the little avian creatures,chirp mellifluously ,as if
announcing boldly to their kit and kin ,to shun laziness and enjoy the sweet
hours of mornings. They work as alarm clocks to many a household. The
gregarious myna , the friendless crow, the cooing pigeon,green parrots mingling
with the green leaves of the tree , a remote sparrow and the cukoo
adding musical vibrations to the air.To top it all, are the the gentle squirrels busily descending from
one tree and climbing the other. Scurrying the boundary wall in high speed,
they stop midway and glance hither and thither. It’s that lovely feeling of normalcy
that’s enchanting.
An explosion
of the myriad hues of green dominates the ambience around.Just slide in your
walking shoes and head to the nearest park .Watch the Neem surge high like a balloon. The mango,peepal,jamun,ber and the banyan
appear as never to separate friends. Accompanying the tall trees are the bushes
and the verdant patches dotting the open space. Don’t they all seem to wish ’ a
very good morning.’ The air is cool wafting with the heady smell of
bouganvallia, firangipani,champa and jasmine.
To step out and enjoy the feel of a
rejuvenating summer morning, it does have a calming effect on the self. As the
day progresses ,the day seems to get hotter by the minute. But that’s another
story. Why miss the morning glory , when nature’s abundance seems to overflow
in the guise of a picturesque photograph.
