Nature really does it!!

I have again been off for a long while due to a bad setback in my health and a lot of other personal reasons. This is a post that has been long pending. I wanted to talk about this right after I came back from a holiday we took to a place called Coorg, close to Mysore.

I am not sure if I am starting to really grow old or starting to relax more, but this is the first trip in my whole life where I really paid attention to the bounty of nature around me. I have read a lot of books where the authors passionately describe how sweet the sound of the chirping birds and the rustling leaves are to one's ears. When I read such books I always wondered if this really happens or if the authors were just trying to make their writing look really creative and dreamy. However, during this holiday at Coorg, I really noticed all this and more. I really took my morning walks amidst the woods where the aroma of coffee plants really hit my senses. I heard the birds chriping and when I closed my eyes to really soak it all up, I felt like I was flying. Yeah, I know what you are thinking!! I am starting to sound like one of these dreamy writers, right?? I am not sure who or what I sound like, but I am sure I really had a heady experience connecting with nature, like never before.

I was really happy and relaxed and felt so contented and thankful that I was able to do all this in life. I think it is easier to say I felt different!!

P.S. The picture of the sunset was taken in Coorg during our trip.
