great sunrise at my college

well...this post is being written by me after witnessing a splendid sunrise in my college...it just happens that there is a beautiful sunrise view from my college LT court...but as being lazy mortals..we r too preoccupied by the triflities to witness the beautiful show of nature everyday..
it just happened that i was drunk last night...very drunk..(some farewell party ..!!)and due to hot nights...i was feeling miserable from the inside ..and to top it all...electricity went off...
hmm...so now i decided to get up from bed and go to hostel no. 2 to drink cold water..as i was feeling very very thirsty and there is no water cooler in our hostel yet...
(i am relating the incident in first person now)
i watch the time..it is 4 am in morning...long time since i got up this early..)
i go to the hostl no.2 and drink my fill...then i phone pooja, eho happens to be fast asleep...(obviously..not everyone is suffering from hangovers like me!!)
i go to the computer room to read the ALBERT EINSTEINS DIARIES...good work of genious...rather abstract work by a technical scientist...
now the time is 5:15 am, and suddenly i decide to go to the LT court for witnessing the sunrise...
i start walking towards the court. the road that leads to it is flanked with the trees on both sides. it is a lovely dawn time, with very crisp breeze blowing and voices of birds soothing the ears. far away in some village, women are getting ready for their chores, but it is still early. as i approach the court, i witness the beauty of the nature at its best. peepal tree is responding to the cool breeze by letting its leaves dance to the rythm of breeze...just beautiful and simple...
i see a hare dashing away in the cricket ground..
some one rightly saud thet best things in life r free...
now i am in the court. it is stil some time to sunrise. so i call poo...and hering her sweet voice multiplies the magical effect of the morning...(she is still asleep..no doubt meri sustu...)
i sit on the bench..and all of a sudden, nostalgia comes rushing to me....the memories of the bygone days..the morning walks...the exercises and the endless discussions with friends..first year..second year...third year..all came rushing to me.....
now , i decide to savour the present moment..nature, unfolding like a beautiful bud of rose..
suddenly..a streak of very bright light appears in the east..and i catch the glimpse of the majestic SUN...rising behind the towering dhauladhar range of mountains...
i watch awestruck..and spell bound...in some mins..the sunrise will be complete. but those few mins last like an eternity...
and i make a silent promise with myself..to visit this place in morning a few more time before i pass out..and once with pooja...
