Considering my "healthy" nature (arre bahi, khaate peete khaandaan se hai…) I am forced out of my house every (almost) morning to go and run and become a little less healthy.
Being the nice, obedient girl that I am, I go.
Okk..the real reason I go is that is, I go = mom quiet + sister give chocolate + dad give ice cream. Initially I used to sleep walk, but one day I wasn't that sleepy, and I opened my eyes to look at the place that I would walk-jog-run-pant like a dog in.
And this is what I found.
When I took off my headphones that were blaring energetic morning radio shows, I heard all possible birds that I could (well… all the possible birds I could hear in Mumbai!) : crows, mainas, parrots, sparrows, one-for-joy-two-for-sorrows and some that I couldn't name. And instead of getting irritated at the cacophony, I was mesmerized. It was the most "alive" sound that I have ever heard. After that day I started sleeping early and stopped carrying my earphones.
Everytime I go there, everytime that I think about it, only one thing goes on in my head like an old tape recorder stuck at a particular point: this is a slice of heaven.
My slice of heaven.
