We just came home last night from a very refreshing Niagara Falls Trip! It was so amazing and sceneries were thought provoking and my thoughts as usual just popped up, surfaced me, spilled and re-surfaced, sometimes told and shared and some untold but shared later. Fall colors really do have some impact on the mind that eases and brings so many thoughts and new ideas.
I really loved this colorfully drying deaths of the leaves on trees. A beautiful death of plants in all aspects - the scenery, the effect on the minds who watch the view and an end for a beautiful white start in couple of months.
Trees are so giving. Isn't it?
Their goodness just instills the hearts and minds of so many and the beautiful life these trees give us is unexplainable. The good of plant is doing so very good to me.
Ours was a package tour and so many people are in bus - Indians, Chinese, Spanish and Americans. Older people, younger people, kids and an altogether class of people - "students". Thats everyone favorite slot gifted by God in this long roller coaster ride to everyones destiny. Each time we as passengers were on the other side of the payment counter I saw these girls and some guys with flummoxed expressions diving their hands deep into their pockets and relieved faces as if a fisherman caught some useful fish in the pond after finding some coins. To Mannat and I that was a heart-warming scene. But such a lovely age it is.
Then I recalled so many stories from my childhood and college days and told those to Mannat. How many times I had imagined a bag full of chocolates :). Really .... Infact, I did that after getting job once or twice but then as I conquered my wish it died slowly and this happens with everyone. Its human nature after all longing for more and more and something thats out of reach. But this good feeling is so good and remains so fresh and alive. We were glad those guys were in the bus and made us remember those moments - first time we withdrew salaries from ATM, our first vehicles, first shopping spree and so on. With all this conversation I had the similar feeling to some extent as my eyes had the first sight of the fall colors.
Like the sweet college memories are the sweet sight of these trees - So good but very good as time passes!!
