Life gets mundane sitting in front of T.V. and computer screens and it’s been months that I hadn’t seen clear sky in real. Yesterday, I encouraged my daughters to skip their gadgets and books for a midnight walk in our garden. Though it was not a full-moon night, still the moon was at the peak of its beauty at 12 a.m.
It was quite a difficult task for my younger daughter Anindhya to click this picture from her phone as the moon was playing peek-a-boo behind the jungle of concrete. Finally she could manage it through the mango trees for this natural glance of the moon hiding behind trees and standing out against stark dark sky. While Anindhya was clicking this picture, I was lost in the beauty of the moonlit sky seen after so long. (This is the irony of modern life!)

Thanks Purba. It becomes quite pleasant these days around midnight. Try out. I guess Kolkata weather is equally nice. I’ve spent springs there some years back. Still miss the food, people and weather of your city. Wish to visit your city of joy once again. Love you dear. 🙂 <3 .
