A State of Gaiety and Trance

It’s nearing dawn and it suddenly feels as if the trials of life have reached its peak. City life gets rather sedentary and redundant after a point that to cool off we automatically confine ourselves to the man-made vices of television and alcohol to disconnect and move far away. There is an attempt to get as much as we can a sense of peace and tranquility to rejuvenate and maybe reason out life and its twisted ways.
As I sit on the pebbled beach of Brightonia, life and thoughts fade to black and the power of the sea overpowers me and I am left gazing at the inhospitable waters of the English Channel. However I’m overcome by a sense of serenity as the wind blows. Brighton the ever vibrant city leaves me dumbstruck, it’s probably one of the few places where every individual no matter where they come from are always spirited to live life like there is no tomorrow. The sea side compliments the Brighton spirit in an interestingly unified way, in a city that is always happening, the calm sea is a place where people come together and gather around to sing, dance or light a bonfire.
The best way to describe Brighton is a summer paradise. It is a place that always keeps you happy and lets you be who you want to be.Whoever you are and wherever you are from, in Brighton, you don’t need to hide or pretend or follow a conventional setting. The name of the city encapsulates its spirit in the best possible way.
History offers a similar story, Brighton was where the royalty would come and visit as a place of respite and this practice died down after the ambitious Queen Victoria deigned it to be a sin city. Nonetheless the spirit lived on and Brighton continues to be the cultural hub of the UK where art and music acquires a new dimension.
A year of my life feels like a dream , like as if I went off into a deep sleep and went to paradise and I woke up to reality . The words of John Lennon in his song “Imagine” speaks to me every time I close my eyes and dream of Brighton, imagine all the people , living for today, no boundaries, no countries, no norms, I yearn for paradise and the sunny and beautiful Brighton.
