I was at home, the hottest day of the month (48 degree Celsius) and suddenly there was power cut. So, I moved towards the window in hope of getting some fresh air. I looked outside; the sun was shining at its peak. People on the roads seemed to be exhausted because of that day. Hawkers sitting on the side of the road wiping their sweat. Children returning from the school looked fagged. The only respite was an “Ice-cream Wala” who was passing on the cones to the school children.
As I was wearied, everything seemed dull and exhausted to me. Looking all those things outside, I wished if I could go to such a place where I can feel the cool breeze and enjoy the beauty of the nature. A place- away from the crowd and nuisance of the city.
A visit to Hill-Side. Thinking of my dream destination, I started imagining as if I am at a place surrounded by green hills. I can view the sun-rise from the window of my room where I can feel its warmth with a cup of tea in my hand.
The beautiful environment where I can hear the chirping of the birds contrast to the honking of the vehicles and noise in the city. I can imagine myself walking by the riverside and the bubbling sound of water giving relief to my mind as somebody is playing a melodious music. The fragrance of the flower and the breeze blowing there refreshing and revitalizing my senses.
I was completely absorbed in the thoughts of that pleasing location. Suddenly I was awakened by a noise and the gush of warm air. I found myself in the same old chair. The only difference was now my fan was running; but I could not feel the way I was feeling in my dream destination.
