#3:Life and its manifestations..

For a change, try discarding the electronic travel equipment and rely on ur feet.. stroll over the countryside.. into the woods and the bushes and into the nature if you really wanna know what life is... The place I currently live in is an amazing fiesta for nature walkers.
That reminds me of a professor, Dr.Susy Varughese, who introduced us to this side of science. It was part of a course called Industrial Design, where students are introduced to every discipline of Science and Technology. So, Prof. Susy was there to talk on bio stuff, like prosthetic arms,etc. Well, the subject totally squeezed out all the enthu in us, we, being techies, or rather non-biotics. :P But the moment I saw her, some kinda interest crept in. Her way of dressing,(very simple), talking and especially that aura of happiness and contentment I saw in her. They impressed me a lot. She is a simple woman, working and enjoying whose eyes see everything, naturally.
She told us to have a look at all those birds flying around us and gave names to each of those. Boy, I didnt know there were so many kinds of them till then, each unique in its own way.
On a stroll, yesterday evening, I was looking at all those different manifestations, this thing called life, takes over. It was just after a pour when the sun started to almost set but did not yet. The fresh green leaves, so lovely and lively, extending a warm welcome to their guest. The just-born flowers offering the untouched nectar happily to those colourful butterflies hovering around. The chirping birds chattering and twittering around giving you the most intersting company. Move on a little and there come the big ones- doggies and kitties, jumping around in ecstasy without any absolute thought of what next. From the corner of your eye, you can catch the glimpse of a hare running around, trying its best not to be seen. Then you encompass the very familiar huge family in the neighbourhood, of Mr & Mrs Bull, the air of pride in their walk, striding along the entire path. Then a roar of va-a-arious insects speeding ahead with the awe that reminds you of a lawyer ready to argue his case. Also, if you moved out at the right minute, you may come across a mongoose thieving around, a monkey surprising you, a snake startling you, or even a wild boar scaring you out of your senses, if at all you enter its private arena!
Such diversity of life.. left me dazzled and the best I can do is to share, how beautifully made our environment is, with my fellow sapiens....HOSANNA!
