We are so busy these days that we don’t have the time to look up at the sky and enjoy its splendour. As we go through our day, the sky above is also changing. So much is happening up there, clouds are lazing about or seriously gathering to bring us some showers. The sun is busy travelling across the sky, silently casting shadows, both short and long. The sky is a kaleidoscope of colours through the day.
We only seem to have time to bend our necks downward and keep texting, or to keep inclining our heads at odd angles to answer calls on our mobiles, while trying to complete other chores.
We never ever look upwards. Because, if we do, we may actually get to see the absolute deep violet of twilight or catch a few twinkling stars that are almost invisible in the cities, where skyscrapers grab the skyline.
Or like I did, one may get to see something like this –
A merry jet streaking across the morning sky, hints of pale yellow reflecting off the clouds.
Another day to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
