Explanation:
It was just another morning of a regular rainy season in Mumbai when I woke up at 6 am to see off my father going to Bhopal for work. It was cloudy and dull with some drizzle but everything looked peaceful.
I lazed around till about 7 am and then got out of bed to get ready for school. By around 8 am, when I was ready to leave home, I realized that it had been raining heavily for quite some time now. When I looked out of the kitchen window, I watched trees swaying and the drains has begun to overflow. Should I go to school at all? But then I had to go because it was internal assignment day. And I was a student who had never skipped school. So I set out much to my mothers reluctance.
As I walked towards the main street, I saw a big traffic jam at the junction. I could barely see anything as it was now pouring badly. I waited for the signal to show the walk sign, keeping my raincoat cap from pulling off, wiping my spectacles again and again. On days like these, I wished I could see clearly without my eye glasses. It was only a ten minute walk to my school but the rain was getting worse by the minute. By now, my school uniform was all wet under my raincoat and I had begun to feel cold. I would usually walk quickly down the lane occasionally stopping by House No 3 in the lane to spend some time with the owners pet dog. When I reached their gate, I saw that their fence and the front side of the house had been damaged because a tree fell on their fence and on their house. I was beginning to get scared now as there was knee-deep water in front of me. I struggled to wade through the dirty water and somehow reached my school gate, only to have the worst experience of my life. A school student fell into an open drain outside my school gate right in front of my eyes. She just slipped away in front of her mother. But before I could react, the school watchman who was helping students standing outside pulled her up.
I was in tears now, and I wanted to go home to my mother. I dragged myself to the gate and asked the watchman to help me. They had closed the school for the day. I was taken to the staff room and given hot tea and something to eat. My mother was informed that I was safe in school and that they would keep all students here till the rain subsided. My teachers did their best to make us comfortable, although they too were drenched, shivering, and scared too. They had left their families and children at home, just to make sure we would be fine.
It stopped raining late in the evening and when my mother came to pick me, I was the happiest person on the planet to see her. We went home and on our way I met Percy, the pet dog from House No 3. They had decided to temporarily shift to another location and they were all safe. Back home, I was treated with my favourite dishes for dinner and was tucked into bed with some medicines for the slight cold and fever I got because of being in the rain for long. As I lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, I realized that I could have avoided the misadventure by thinking about the situation and staying indoors for the day. I was blinded by my stubbornness to not bend according to the situation. I learnt my lesson. Sometimes it is better to bend than to break.
Answer:
Good moments can be captured at any time. There is no fixed time to encounter moments that will leave an impression in our mind, body and soul. The journey to school and back every morning, proves to be a sight that is not only appealing but also soothing.
On my way to school one morning, I had encountered various sounds of birds in the trees that seemed like they were excited for the new day. It looked more like they were greeting one another in excitement. In a distance the sound of a rooster was saying cock-a -doodle-do like an alarm waking up his master. There were some passersby drinking a hot cup of tea early in the morning before they head to work.
Half way down the road I had noticed a group of elderly folks being shown different kinds of exercises that made me realise that fitness is for everyone. In the same field there were some adults doing free hand exercises.
A few steps away a little girl was plucking some flowers from a tree into a small plastic basket. She had made a little necklace of one and hung it around her neck, as though she was flaunting it to everyone.
There was a lot of noise now as I had approached the main road. The sounds of the cars, autos and buses seemed high on energy as their day had started. The early morning office goers were anxiously waiting to get their mode of transport. I saw two elders standing by the side of the road discussing the weather as the temperature had suddenly dropped.
I walked along the pavement and saw a street dog cuddled up to her puppies trying to keep them warm. I had a packet of biscuits in my bag, I broke some of them and kept it near them so that they would eat it later.
I now had almost reached my destination and my best friend caught up with me and we both entered the gate together to start my day. The sound of the school bell suddenly brought me back to reality as I was distracted with all the activities I witnessed.
After school had ended, on my journey back the same scene seemed more chaotic as there were more people. The hustle and bustle on the roads disoriented me and I had to walk back quickly home without being able to experience my journey properly
I preferred the journey on going to school rather than the journey back. we get so caught up in our day to day lives that we forget to appreciate the finer things in life.
Early morning walks are by far the best time for me as Its much quieter and I get to experience the various soothing sounds and scenes in comparison to the noise after noon time.
