Most days , nearly all the days when i am walking , I take a similar route. A route to a destination. Today was different though. There was a 'spring' in my step. I was alone but not really. I walked slowly perhaps more slower than an occasional jogger or cyclist would require.
I had nowhere to go so I took time and enjoyed the surroundings. I mixed with the expressions , colors, fragrance and the changing music , nodded at the people I saw and waved to the drivers of the two and four wheelers going in opposite directions. I could not stop myself to talk with those two young girls wearing beautiful sarees. I tried eating a lot of bizarre things.I visited a bookstore.Just then I could see the animation , people had for shopping.I just stood there and laughed with them.
Too often , I am in a hurry and thinking about things I shouldn't. I take the most direct route from A to B and my mind is focussed on the new task. And in doing so I mess opportunity to savor this moment in time , a gift of present.
I made myself happy today. That's how i made my day.The only thing I missed was a camera.
Love it how u express your feelings in words.

Walking is perhaps the best way of seeing and learning about people

To take out time to appreciate the small things in life...gives the joy and makes somebody's day in the process...just being there genuinely in that moment!!!
