Since childhood I remember how I enjoyed sleeping late into the morning but one cool morning, out of routine, I woke up early and accompanied my father for a morning walk. we started on our brand new white color Mahindra rodeo, to reach K.B.R national park where my father usually goes for a walk . It is situated at a 4km distance from my home town and took ten minutes to reach the park .
I parked the vehicle in the shade of a tree and casually rolled my eyes towards the sky, the eastern sky is beginning to light up, I can see the first crack of dawn against the dark sky, the sun will rise soon and the day will begin. As I walked on from somewhere among the trees I can hear the bird sing its sweet song, it is pleasure to hear it, as I near the gate the other birds start up too , soon there is chorus of twittering and chattering all around me. We reached the entrance, there is a huge blue gate made of iron bars, Majestically standing and welcoming us. Just in front of the gate inside the park, there is beautiful idol of Lord Ganesh carved in black stone with lotus in one hand and blessing with the other. We offered prayer and moved ahead into the park through a rough well trodden path bordered by lush green grass and bushes. It continues under a canopy of trees grey brown and dappled, with light streaming through the foliage. There is scented fragrance of flowers along with gentle zephyr all around. The tiny dew drops are dazzling on the top of the leaves making plants glisten.
As we continued hiking I find myself immersed in the aesthetic features of the park and its serenity. After one hour pleasant walk , I sat down and stretched in the direction of sun just shining its warm golden light, the entire meadow was glowing under its warmth .That pleasant morning I lost myself in the beauty of nature, since then I never missed the precious privilege of early rising, even how late I go to bed I rise with the sun to appreciate the beauty of nature.
