Time to walk, eat and stare Life!

“Life is an ice cream, enjoy it before it melts”. Monday Evening, I enjoyed it with 3 ice candies.

An evening, I just spent it differently and stared life at a soft and sweet pace. Thanks to the graceful traffic on the roads, it was good to be home early evening. Generally I am slave to the 8 to 8 schedule which doesnt give much time for the evening leisure so it was eye-soothing to see the sun set on a weekday.

I grabbed on small snack and planned to join my Dad in his evening walk a little later. I am not much of a activity person, though I am making all efforts to grab sometime for some sporty stuff. My house and the walking ground are at a separation of 3 streets. Though we have to walk to reach that place as well.   🙂

We stepped down from the first floor and picked pace. We had to pass the children park just a few houses away. It was fun to watch the kids run around randomly in the grounds.The squeaking and yelling invited attention all the way.I felt nostalgic. What fun were those days when we waited for the clock to strike 5 and we could just run to the nearby park to meet the colony friends. The next two hours would vanish in a jiffy amisdt our innocent talks and naughty acts. The children in the park reminded me of my childhood days and I just felt gone are those days , if I could relive them again!

Next we headed to the walking ground in the next street. This one specially comes equipped with tracks and benches inviting people from all ages to stroll, walk, run and rest. We go there sometimes after dinner as well just to enjoy some fresh air. But It was great to see it crowded in the evening. The elder generation had a remarkable strength.Met some neighbours. It was good to meet many of them after long. Life these days is so hussled bussled. No time to stand and stare. Hope you all are reminded of the poem-Leisure.

We enjoyed the walk smoothly. I had loads of time to discuss lots with my Dad about so many happenings all around. Its always good to spend time with our parents and get into some healthy interaction. I especially rely a lot on their suggestions.

And now comes the last but not the least part, that was yum. While we were on the way back, As we crossed the first street, just at the edge of the turn, stood the ice cream vendor.My dad sugested to have ice candies. I loved the idea and we took orange bars each. The first one in this season and it felt a great relief to quench the thirst this way. I enjoyed the first one and finished off by the time we reached the next turn. There stood another vendor-thanks to Mother dairy, and I was taken in by the greed to go for another orange bar. It was fun again as well as orangishly sweet. I enjoyed my bar at the double speed. 2mins we reached the 3rd turn, the closest to the finishing line(home) and I was craving for another one. To my luck stood another vendor, this time kwality waltz guy And My dad helped me with another one… Thank u Daddy.I had 3 ice candies in a row, and had done this after years . Wow, its fun to live a few hours or minutes differently. I had only one thought in my mind- Life is an ice cream, enjoy it before it melts.
