morning. mist.
It’s uncanny how a cold morning can annul the self-abomination pent-up enwithin.
I know my feeble words will never do justice to all my emotions from today morning. Yet, i try..
It had been a chilly morning. When i had entered the gym, at a quarter-past six, the sun had come up, and a sullen mist had hung about in the air. Once inside, i never really cared to look outside. It felt good, to be in the gym again, after half a year.
An hour post whence i’d entered, i crossed the threshold again, on my way out. Almost at once, i was engulfed.A white mist now shrouded the earth. I could barely see beyond a hundred metres or so. And it was cold. I zipped up my jacket, and cursed myself for being in shorts. I expelled the last breath of warmth from within me, and as it rose akin to a wisp of smoke, i prepared for my five minute tryst with the environs. Little did i know, dear nature had a treat in store for me. :)
…well, i had only as much time when i’d begun composing it…and even though i’d initially intended completing it…the job kept getting put off, and i never finished it…now the moment is lost. (Feb9)
first winter. iitg.
IIT, Guwahati. On the banks of the Bramhaputra.
It is winter now. The lush surroundings yeild to a chilly frost come daybreak or dusk. Pullovers and sweaters, even at noon are quite the fashion. Migratory ducks amass on the swamps like antelope on the savannah. Robins, drongos, mynahs, doves, storks and many others i can’t possibly name; dart about incessantly. There’s a lake beside my hostel. A majestic eagle swoops down onto a fish as i cycle to class. There are hills beyond the street that drives by my room. There are trees whose silhouette in the mist compels me to stand. And stare. And stare.
It’s cold. And it just began to drizzle. Yeay.
