Come, touch the sky...

"Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky..."

N all that I can see is... everything. I was on the top of the world. Well, not exactly, but it sorta felt that way.

Manvilakunnu. That's the top of world I was talking about. Its a place near our college. Maybe some 1 or 2 kms away. Lemme tell you how I reached there.

Why did I go to college today? To tell the truth, jus cos I would have been bored if I had sat at home. So when we got there, Aparna wanted to visit Manvilakunnu. She's been talking about the place for so long now. It was so close yet we have never visited it, some excuses always pop up. Hmm, not today.

So its 2.30, then. Shall we start. Me, Neetha, Aps, Ranjani and Shee..that's the gang. Off we went along the road, passing Emmaus, reaching Manvila. Then through a lonely side road that kept on sloping downwards. Neetha was the one showing the way. But to reach a hill we were going downwards!? Follow the leader, I guess.

And on and on and on we went till we saw it. A hill. Nothing more. A plain hill at that. Just a lonely tree (if you can call it that) at the top.
Vijanamaya prashantham. Engum nishabdhadha. Njangal keyeri, angu mukalil. Avide...

God!!

The view! It was splendid, spectacular, breathtaking and everything else. You could see for miles and miles and miles around in all directions. The best is yet to come. There far in the horizon you can see.. the sea. So pretty. So far yet so close. The vast sky overhead with pure white clouds, green green keras filling the valley around us. Every inch covered with green trees all around. Only a few lone buildings scattered around remind us that humans exsist.

The wind was blowing with all her might. Does she wanna carry us off? Spread your hands and feel the thrill of flying. Listen to what the wind says to you. Surrender your senses to nature. Feel.

All good times must come to an end. So did this. Goodbye my dear hill for now.. Will always remember you..
