Rising Sun on the Horizon

Rising sun making its way. Circa 6:30 AM.

When was the last time you saw the sun rising at the far end and let the panoramic view of its hues pervade your senses? The work-life motion has a way of pushing out the small things to the edge. But then. How much of life is about the big things.

This was the morning of 13th Oct. 2010, a Wednesday (yes, a working day). About 6:30 AM. I was driving down the ring road to Dhaula Kuan and had just crossed the Brar Square traffic light. When just out of nowhere the orange shades of a just-about-to-come-out sun painted my windscreen. On another day, I would have missed this. Call it a light mood. A low work load for a change. Whatever it was, it caught me unaware.

Stopping there to see the early orange wave give way to a vibrant yellow and then the eye piercing ray of a sun in full glory make an arc and move away beyond my gaze as a light, cool breeze ruffled my hair, it was pristine serenity.

All of it was over in under 5 minutes. But the feeling, that's gonna stay forever.

Get out. Catch the sun. LAS.
