The perils of morning walks!

Dear Cheeniya Sir,

I had been missing reading your wonderful posts here due to time constraints on my side. Today, I said to myself, enough is enough. I must visit Cheeniya' Sir's forum and get myself a break that will truly rejuvenate me! And boy, I am so glad I did!

Thanks to Kritika for bringing this thread back to the limelight.

I had a hearty laugh reading the humorous narration of your morning walk! It makes me want to walk with you just to experience all the funny things you have mentioned. I know that they sound funny because they come from you. So I'd have to take you with me to walk if I really want to enjoy the walk!

I love walking too. Early mornings (preferably before 6am) would be the ideal time. But given the hectic schedule for the day, I squeeze it in any time I can. For ex. I have had a "walk group" in every place I have worked so far. The moment join a work place one of the first few things I do is try to find people who like to walk and form a walk group. We talk about everything under the sun, other than work. So it is a good break in the middle of the work day.

Since most of the people in my walk groups have men, much to my husband's dismay, I often get some points for him to "improve on"! For ex. when I learnt that one of the co-workers washes his own coffee travel mug I promptly went home and told hubby that now on he must wash his own mug that he quietly slips in the sink after getting back from work expecting me to clean it up for next day!

Thoroughly enjoyed this post of yours and yes, I feel totally rejuvenated!

Dear SS
I am aware that your generosity knows no bounds when it comes to cheering up people. If I keep telling you that your nickname suits you perfectly because, apart from having a soaring spirit yourself, you make others' spirit soar high too!

There is something special about early morning walks. I believe that during that brief magic spell of the dawn, every one of us is closer to nature than ever. Watching people in their best mood is always such a joy. I always seek out the lighter side of life and there is plenty of it during morning walks. But please dont conclude that in this pursuit of mirth and fun around me, I miss seeing the rainbow. No rainbow, however light or truncated it is, misses my attention. And so are the waves of the sea that provide an excellent backdrop for my walk.

I can visualise your hubby dreading whatever new items of labour that you may be dumping on him after every walk!

It will be a great joy to join you for a walk. I'll do it tomorrow itself, in my heart of course!
