Skywatching After Ages

It’s been a while since my last post on SkywatchFriday was published! At work, it has been super hectic, as we are headed towards the penultimate week before our big annual conference begins.

I’ve been catching the sky every now and then, between calls and meetings and everyday chores.

The other day, while spending a few precious unhurried moments by the window, I realised how easily we tend to forget that we’re all a part of nature. We all live in an insulated home and wake up with the clock ticking. We are literally thrown into a tizzy with unending chores waiting to grab our attention.

So much of our existence is about shielding us from the natural world. Still, we’re organisms on this green Earth – we are creatures who feed off the bounties that come from Mother Nature.

All said and done, at the end of the day, none of us can deny that we’re humbled by the power of nature, from every season and every storm that comes our way!

Today, for SkywatchFriday, I thought of sharing a few clicks that I captured recently from our balcony.

Yesterday’s sky was also magical. There was a riot of hues that kept on playing in the sky for a bit. As twilight descended, there was a hush…quietly and ever so gently, Mother Nature ushered in the cloak of darkness and spread it all across the sky. Night fell. Lights began to appear everywhere, twinkling from a distance.

It felt wonderful to be alive and awake to the rhythm of life. It was beautiful, in a way that’s hard to describe in words.

The feeling of awe in small everyday moments is something I’m always looking forward to, everyday.

Grateful and blessed for the little joys of life!

That’s it from me today, I’m wrapping this up with a beautiful wish for you all — have a beautiful relaxed weekend, dear readers and stay blessed! See you again, soon.

Sending love and tons of happy vibes to each of you stopping by the blog!

    1. They are so dramatic, aren’t they? The sunset hour turns everything into magic, I think. Thank you for stopping by the blog and sharing your thoughts, Holly! It’s been a while that I’ve stopped by the blog, myself…

    1. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Sunita! Happy to know you liked the pics…the sky is so magical at sunset…it’s a shame that we hardly notice what we are missing, so caught up, that we are, in our lives.

    1. Thank you so very much for the lovely appreciation, Alan! I’ve not been blogging much over the past couple of weeks, but, now that work is a lot less, I’m slowly easing back into a regular routine again.

    1. Thank you, Arvind! Sorry for responding so late…a lot has been going on at work and on the personal front. Meaning to be regular at blogging from now on. How have you been?

      1. I understand, Esha. There are important things to tend to. I’m doing okay. I’m not blogging as actively, but hopefully I should be in a few months.

        1. Don’t check them often. There is huge list on the reader that I don’t have the time for, so I pick and choose only those I can. 🙂
