Lucky me!!!

Evening walks to Marine Drive have become frequent (i have moved to a place close to it) and even more precious to me. There is something about the sea that i find utterly irresistible and it pulls me towards it like honey to a bee. So i went for a walk by the sea again today and just sat in peaceful contemplation (listening to November Rain by GNR) for some time on the parapet. Then i noticed that the sea was illuminated with bright diagonal lines shimmering on the surface at certain intervals while the rest of the sea was its usual dark mysterious self. I got up to investigate the cause of the incandescent glow on the surface of the sea when i noticed that the lights of Wankhede Stadium were on! The stadium lies behind a row of buildings but the lights are tall and look like inquisitive children peering over a fence. Well, radiations of light were streaming from the gaps separating the neighbouring buildings and fell onto the sea like silver dust from the wand of a fairy!! Oh, you should have seen it, the shimmering bands of light met at a point far away in the sea and looked like ethereal paths promising a magical journey to all those who had the courage to walk upon them!! It was beautiful, and i could not stop smiling. I just wish i had a camera to capture that moment, but at least i have that image locked away in my mind! If anyone at that moment had told me that the fairies from the faraway woods had come for a visit and had left these mementos, i would have readily believed them!! I am lucky to live so close to the sea!
