The lush green
blanket of life covering the land as far as the eye can see started my day off.
The Konkan railway route one of the
best displays of greenery with nature at its best. Moreover we have had a very
good monsoon in these areas this year. You could see how each and every drop of
the monsoon is of value when you see the tiny leaves shining brightest holding
a droplet like a precious pearl. Sunlight offers the best brightness for us to
witness a beauty right from the microscopic levels! If you keep looking at the
scenes you will feel as if someone is trying to capture this in a picture using
sun as flash for his shutter. The habitual expectation to see tall towers of
bricks and steel slowly fades. Being habituated to live in concrete forests
since so long; such stark contrast will hit you like lightning, making you
forget the dust and rush of cities. You start to embrace the nature at its
truest form. Suddenly the lonely feeling of being loner is crowd turn into the
feeling of being the king of this green kingdom. It’s a relief to see this. I have been
sitting for hours lost in the thought of one and only one colour my eye could
see “Green”. We talk so much about Blue being the coolest colour, white being a
very peaceful and soothing to eye, “Red” being passionate symbolising love,
rebellious symbolising battle glory and all other hidden mysteries that we
could see in it; but we always fail to adjudge Green and attribute it to
something, some feeling. I guess it is not because of our incapability. This is
probably because when you think of Green you feel we are not as big as we think
we are and we are not sure what to call this massive colour affecting us in so
many ways at once we start forgetting what we could describe it by. It’s just a
mesmerizing feeling. My days covered in half a cm thick dust has kicked off
today with a warm cosy green blanket which the nature had woven and the land
was wearing it graciously with so much of pride. The change has begun. I am so
glad to have decided to take a train trip rather than a flight to Goa. It would
have been very sad if I missed these gorgeous scenes. This has calmed my
excitement down to reasonable levels which were kicking roofs when I started
the journey to Goa! Let’s see what else the trip has to offer ahead. There is
always room for surprises and nature is to damn good at it!
When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day. Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...
