Sand Castle
A pleasant evening, a slight drizzle & lots of traffic along the By-pass road. We, the 11 roadies were heading to Aazhimaala beach, 7kms from Kovalam. By the time we reached the beach, the Sun had cleared the dark clouds from the sky. We climbed over the rocks & were searching for a nice beach to jump into the sea. After moving for about half a km, we found a nice beach.
Then there was no snailing around, everyone threw their dresses on to the beach & ran towards the sea. At first everyone were bit hesitant to venture deep & also the sea water was cold. As time flew people were hesitant to come closer to shore. Had a gala time playing in the waters. We encountered many big tides that came without any prior notice.
I got tired after playing in the waters for about a hour. I Was drying myself, then i saw Paul & Harikri digging the sand searching something. After drying, i walked towards them to know what they were searching. To my surprise they were making sand castle, then without any thinking i also joined them. But i thought of making my own castle. All others were still playing in the waters. I went for some what different structure than the usual conical castles. I decorated them with the sea-shells & about 30 mins later construction of my castle was over.
By this time all others were on the shore & were judging & commenting about our works. After giving a final touch, i stood up & had a look from a distance.
Some kind of feeling suddenly plagued into my mind. Some questions arouse in my mind: When was the last time i made a sand castle??? I think its been long!!! Oh my god!!! When i was child, i used to go to beach very ofter with my family & cousins and we used to have a great time. When was the last time i enjoyed the seas??? But now...!!!
Now the readers reaction to the above para will be: Gone are those days.
I would say a BIG NO. Its we who control our happiness & emotions. If you want to play like a 4 year old kid, just do it. Dont bother about what others would think about you. Its our life...
After all life is everything between a BREATHE-In & BREATHE-Out.
