Nature's Instagram !

Every day is same. 

Only us laden them with loads from our whims and fancies, name and now worry about them; every day. 

Overnight rain. Cooler breeze; Yellow leaves are withering off. In the process, writing a poem in air (read somewhere). May be busy today; was on call last night.

Cars are passing by. Few buses too; heavy and empty. May be due to covid. School and its yards are quite. December and eeriness at school verandas. Slow traffic is murmuring. No honking in here. Mostly sensible; try not to wake us from our somnambulistic sojourn to work. May need to touch base with caffeine soon. Tea is a sober one. May be like a morning Gin with no sequel (in flights). Consume. Enjoy. Forget. Late night tea however can keep me crazy insomniac at least until the next morning!

Meditative mind is buzzing with music; few familiar tune and faces; “Hello and Morning”. Yellow leaves trampled upon and few gone soggy and delightful brown with overnight rain. Snails and slugs; natures vividness; passiveness; casualness; life just goes on preparedness. Last night run was reflective; mind was undulating. Hence was tad slow. 

On Fitzgerald and Gatsby nowadays. Hemingway attracted me when I was young. Borrowed them from a nearby British council and of them finished without the help of google. Loads of words were missed and meaningless. Need to redo them, assimilate and regurgitate and digest. On few Tamil likeable works.

I like cows. Calves too. Great beings of nature. Domesticated 10000 years ago in Mediterranean; mostly well behaved. Also like a Beef steak now and then. Great ones. Yet to try the Japanese famous version. Expensive one. India is one of the largest exporter of beef and nearly 40 % eat beef! Check the data folks. World’s total hypocritic and chauvinistic mass live in my mother land. It seems.

Magnets are natures wonder. Its varied usages are extraordinary and exemplary. North and South Pole proximity and the compass, one of the four great inventions from China, with its North Pole affinity is amazing. Nature has loads of many surprises yet; like the covid 19. It’s been transforming us incessantly. 

Our eyes have seemingly (!) become a norm for communication once again! It’s the most elegantly, intuitively designed organ , by nature,  in my humble opinion;  it’s beautiful ; expressive ; can be dull ; pretentious; sharp; blunt; arrogant; seductive; bright; blue and red; brown; a rainbow; piercing; stabbing ( personal favorite); shy; white; yellow; green; wisdom; intelligent; duds etc. Communication mantra. Nature’s Instagram. However, I have failed so far, in designing a face at least in my mind, based upon the eyes I have seen ; mask- less surprises. 

William Shakespeare once said “The Eyes are the window to your soul”.  Whilst Byron argues, “With eyes that looked into the very soul”. I agree with “The eyes have one language everywhere” by George Herbert. Beauty and beholder. Covid19, a philosopher in disguise.

Buses are mulling by. Traffic is heavier now. Soon Green man will signal 20 seconds or 30 somewhere, on a lengthier boulevard. Cars will be stopping by, as I will be eyeing for a green man with seconds to tick by. 

Every day.
