Inspiration……….

Trrrriiiiiinnnggg!!!!!!! Ticked my alarm clock a 5 am- the usual time!! A good morning yawn reminded me that I have a set of 32 minus 4 small dental equipments fitted inside my oral cavity. ( Minus 4 is due to the wisdom teeth extraction done last year. Does that mean- No wisdom teeth= no wisdom??? I am still wondering about it!!!)

Brush…brush…brush…..Brush the teeth…!!

Crush..crush..crush……the germs…….!!!

Getting motivated by my enlarging midsection and being bitten by the fitness fad, I wore my shoes, picked up the water bottle and moved out- to say Hello to the nearby park.

Thanks to BBMP ( Municipal Corporation of Bangalore City), I have two beautiful parks near my new hostel--- Lush green lawns…….beautiful flowers…..benches to recline….and many uncle and aunty warriors to give company in the fight against the enemy called ‘Obesity’

After 2 rounds of walk, I began to jog.

Huff…huff…huff…!!!!…….Gulp….gulp…gulp…!!!!….first sip of water…..!!!!!!

2 more rounds and I started feeling uneasy!! My tummy spoke loud and clear- it badly needed its next installment of carbohydrates!! One piece of advice- Skipping dinner can be injurious to your weight reduction plans!!! Thus, moral learnt- never skip dinner!!!!

In no time, I was back to my hostel, snacking on bananas. Phew!!!! Hunger beast quieted temporarily…..!!!!

But……something lured me to go back to the park!!!!!……… Many things, actually……..!!

In less than five minutes, I found myself sitting on one of the benches of the park. I was not alone this time. Giving me company were- My diary and pen…. :-)

Sitting on the bench, I started wondering…..what brought me back here??????

Awesome weather???? Cool breeze on a monsoon morning???? Naughty sky, playing hide and seek with the clouds?? Toddler branches of the tree, swinging to the tunes of musical wind?? Hmmmm………

Wise people say- “For a writer, his surrounding is the best inspiration.”

Getting inspired by this line, my head began searching for an inspiration, to scribble…

I kept my eyes fixed on the tree roots for 5 minutes…but… no inspiration….. :-(

I kept staring at the young, handsome, dashing Mr. Plant, to an extent that he was convinced that I am marofying line on him. He began to blush and wind blew his face away from me…..but….no inspiration….. :-(

The next target was the red flower. I kept staring the daughter flower to such an extent that the mother flower grinned at me!!!! Her  assumption??- I was jealous of her daughter’s beauty!!!.........in spite of such an allegation!!!!......no inspiration yet….. :-(

I turned towards the wind, hoping to get inspired……..

The drunk wind, whistling, blowing here and there, in and out, up and down, humming and singing, making everyone tap the feet and swing our heads- a lovely early morning "Concert In Silence” :-) ………….But………no inspiration…:-(

The first rays of sun……walking into our lives- saying hello to every leaf, grain of sand, animate and inanimate object on this earth…(…with no bias…….)…

…..giving us hope…

giving another reason to smile….

bidding darkness goodbye…….

and proclaiming- “ Let there be light!!!”….

Itna sab kuch!!!!.......but still…….no inspiration!!!!..:-(

Concoction of all this, making my heart beat faster…widening the smile on my face…….making me love the tiniest grain of sand and the youngest leaf on Mother Nature’s lap……………...taking me away from the drudgery of daily life……drowning me inside the well of love- Love for nature, love for its creations, love for its magic- MARVELLOUS!!!

But still………No inspiration!!!!!!!...............:-(

Ting tong…ting tong……!!!

Second reminder from my tummy..

Pyaar  se  pet  nahi  bharta  janaab!!!!

Bidding good bye to the park and its wonderful ornaments, I started marching towards my next installment of carbohydrates- Idli- Vada…:-)…….Hoping- Shayad usse inspiration mil jaye….!!!! :-)
