Circus

Life is a circus. I may not be the first one to say this but nevertheless I have realized that it’s a fact though. At some point of time we all would have acted like clowns, pretending to be funnier outside hiding the real face within. And then there's the risk factor and people watching the show might not even realize it because its just entertainment for them. It so happened that I watched my first circus few months back and it took me 25 years to watch my first circus. Yes I have never been to a circus earlier. But then I realized that I should have watched it at a much younger age because when the artists were swinging from one pole to another at a very great height I wasn't enjoying like the kids near me, but I was thinking of the risk involved and what if they get injured, what if the timing misses and how long are these guys staying away from their family and stuff. It wasn't even a packed house but the artists weren't much concerned.

I guess their life has become mechanical, when the bell rings they come out and perform. Circus among other entertainment forms has lost its charm largely due to other entertainment stuffs that’s available like the video games. Now that they have formed new rules to protect the animals in circus ,the toll has been carried over to the poor humans, but sadly there ain't a rule to save the people.

Rain is beautiful

Rain is beautiful. It gives life to a lot of things. It’s a ray of hope for the farmers and many others. Directly or indirectly rain affects many. One day I was witnessing the beautiful rain drops from my office window pane. People outside were running for shade but that commotion dint affect me a bit. Keeping my hands on the glass windows I felt I was so close but yet far away. I would like to travel outside in rain, only if I am in a car. I have not experienced it yet but I know its not far away either.

Walking alongside the road taking your partners hand is yet another experience or a group of friends with one of them having an umbrella where everyone tries to stay under it while none of them reaches dry.

A sip of tea on a drizzling day is different from the ones we have daily during the evenings and a hot samosa or puffs to top it all. As I say it Rain is an experience in itself or it gives you one for sure, all that you have to make sure is you don’t end up sneezing at the doctor's clinic. So what's your experience???
