As you would know that I hail from jammu- the city of temples and the doorway to paradise on earth. And as I am not a very ghumakkad kind of person or should I say I never was when I lived in jammu full time so I was never that observant or aware about the beauty of jammu. Well in the past few years living in Bhopal I may have roe n number of times in the morning to see the sunrises, may be coz I learnt after moving there only that how beautiful the rising sun is, but back here in jammu where I spent nearly 20years of my life I never went to a sunrise point to observe and feel the true feel of a rising sun.
This fast I broke today when I went to a sunrise point and believe me its walking distance from my home, Manda or the morning walkers paradise as people call it. And first time I came to know that the sunrise at my home town is more beautiful than the ones I saw from tekri or lake view. it was such a picturesque view with ranges of mountains running one after other and bright light shining behind it. I sat on a stone with my face in my hands waiting for the sun. But its not long when the bright emerges from behind the peaks. What I see is a small brightly shining sun that seems like a gem shining out of the peaks. Rather I witness the whole transition of the sun which happens within seconds and I just sit there marveling at what I am seeing. It was such a marvelous experience that can’t be spelled. I see the sun coming out as if I am seeing some chicken popping out of its egg and sit there Just complimenting nature on its miracles and just being a witness.
It rather becomes more special when you have just a day before finished a Paulo coelho’s novel and its thinking is still alive in your mind rather a part of your mind. You thank, you thank for there is sun. For there ll be light and crops and water and light and harmony. You thank for the beauty that is crated by such phenomena. You thank for there ll always be such things. You thank for love manifests itself in such beauty. The universe talks you in a language that you probably don’t understand but you understand. The nature tries to establish the contact and you thank it for that. You sit there mesmerized knowing that it ll be not there in next few minutes but assured that It ll be there the other day. You sit there , feel the energy, feel the beauty, feel it all and still feel incomplete. You get restless and your mind tells you that sunrise is over so its time to go. Like all the soul came there for was the sunrise. The soul fights back for its right but still the forces of the real world overpower and I return. The soul still manages to keep the spark from the rising sun and thus I keep the desire to go back tomorrow.
