Morning Walk
It was during last midterm vacation during October that my friend and I thought of developing a health habit of rising early in order to go for daily morning walk. We live close to each other's house, so we decided the time and place to meet. Next morning by 6:20 a.m., we were on road. It was still dark outside.
There was peace and calm everywhere . A few people were on road. Some like us were enjoying the early morning hours of an autumn morning during their morning walk. A few were on bicycles going for some work. A few players were on the roadside running, jogging and warming up. A few were heading for the gymnasium. A few tea stalls and sweet shops had opened up to prepare for the day. A few factory laborer's who had returned from their night shift and few who were going to work chit chatting on the tea stall over a steaming cup of tea. A few were watching T.V early morning. The birds were chirping and hopping all around. The sky was turning a shade of deep blue from black. It seemed the blue was chasing the black all over the sky. The eastern sky was turning into a blazing scarlet gradually. We kept on walking, breathing deep the early morning's fresh air. The dewy fresh atmosphere of the morning invigorated and re-energized us. The mind at this hour was released and shorn off all the worries and anxieties. Both of us felt so light. After few minutes walk we decided to return back. The sun was shinning brightly now. The road was more crowded and chaotic. Some were out to buy milk, bread and butter etc. Others were returning from the walks and gyms. The daily labourers were now out for work. There was a host of milkmen at every feet.
It was a wonderful experience. We felt fresh and energetic all day. We decided to make it our daily habit. Till now I had not realized how much we lost while spending such lovely hours into the depths of sleep. Nature presents such glorious scenes of beauty everyday and we rarely take time out to relish these hours. So we decided to continue this routine. This leads to enjoy good health and beautiful scenarios everyday. It boosts your confidence, determination and makes your day a brighter one.
