Good morning !!

Its early on a Monday morning .. I just happened to wake up early so thought I'd write about mornings.

Mornings to me are the best time of the day. I may not be an early riser and people have been surprised to hear that i can be at work by 8 - 8:30 am, but i feel that the freshness of a morning cannot be replicated. A deep long drawn breath of the morning air can open up your insides like nothing else and fill it up with enthusiasm and energy to begin a brand new day with more freshness that what they show in a nescafe ad... :)

If i asked you to guess the sounds I'm hearing as i write this, you would normally guess chirping of birds and other Nature sounds, wouldn't you? Contrary to all of that all i hear is the annoying rustle of the auto-rickshaw engines, honking of a few cars, in other words a trailer of what I'm going to listen to a lot more of soon. The chirping of birds i do hear but very faintly in the background ... In an urban scenario i can't expect too much more i guess but I am really glad at least the air is clean and i know its not going to be for long when all the pollution kicks in.. what takes the cake though are the mornings of some place far away from the businesses of a city, amidst nature. The hills or the forests, Nature has a music of its own, and fragrances no one can imitate... ( it brings me joy even to think about it :) )

But none of the noisiness of a city affects the freshness a morning brings to me. The fresh and cool air, i just can't get enough of.

Go out for a drive, park the car somewhere in the middle of nowhere where you don't have the company of a variety of noisy engines and only have nature by your side giving you company, and maybe a hot cup of tea in an earthen cup ... what a great start to a day that would be !!!! A few places where I've enjoyed that kind of a morning are a small town called Doonga ( although i don't have too many memories of that trip years ago ) and Mysore and my hometown Calcutta of course.

Although i do have to go to work after all that, a morning like this can kick start even a Monday morning when quite a few would be cursing the end of a relaxed weekend :)

Morning light had begun to set in and this is my favourite part so I'm gonna go to the balcony and enjoy as much of it as i can get ... :)

Have a nice day & Keep smiling :) !!!

i've actually felt nice about those times as well i must admit, be it midnight or a couple of hours later but when the sun's just rising and there's just enough light for you to be able to say it's morning but the chill in the morning air defies the presence of the sun, and the freshness of the air you breathe then.. i think it just takes the cake :) ..
