Peace in the noisiest places...

i experienced something really interesting today. i went to marine drive with my friends. it was a beautiful evening, and the sun was going down. it wasn't that hot. in fact, it was getting rather cold. it's a great feeling to sit in the sun when the weather is cold. and we walked. all the way to nariman point and back. the place is beautiful in its own way. it wouldnt be the same without the crowd and the dirt. some people would say it's better without the crowd and the dirt, but you feel like a human island among so many people. your thoughts turn inward. and the dirt lets you concentrate on the sea instead. if you're a sea gazer, you'd not notice the dirt anyway. well, the sight of the sea brought a sense of peace to the mind. my friends, being a talkative lot, were worried about my silence. i dont think i'm silent anyway. the air india building and the hilton towers were like they were not there. imposing though they are, you can get lost in the vagueness of the sea. i discovered one thing about myself... i like being vague. especially on matters which demand explanation. probably explains why i like staring into the night sky and the sea so much.
