The Mountains, The grass and The sea

The other day, a friend remarked how much he enjoyed watching mountains on the horizon. And I was set thinking.... I have grown up watching mountains on the horizons as far as i can remember and never once thought about it!! can see the Vaishno devi mountains out of my bedroom window in our jammu house...have driven through winding roads lined with cheer trees umpteen times, without even giving them a second thought or look...and just always always thought that the run rises behind the mountains and sets behind them...Come to think of it, I actually find the sea intriguing...the clear line of the horizon, with the sea and the sky merging. it just makes me feel overwelmed and awed to see the nothingness beyond. Makes you feel part of an open universe.

How paradigms change...Here we were, spending each day taking the trees and the grass and the flowers and the fresh air for granted, as our own...and then life brings you to mumbai :-)
I am lucky to live in a very green area in Andheri, and can safely say that am woken up with the suns rays on my face and birdsong in my ears and have my morning cuppa by the large baywindow watching parrots. (and i give a million thanks each day to the lord for these pleasures...)But Alas, there is no grass. No grass to set your bare feet on and make squelching sounds in the dew. No grass to sit on, and smell... No heavenly fragrance of fresh cut grass to come back from college and breathe in......its just indescribably fresh.
The closest i have come to smelling fresh cut grass apart from the original is the fragrance of the BIOTIQUE Biovera aloevera sunscreen lotion. Closest to the real thing. Beautifully summery and light. Try it :-)
