As you placed your tender feet on the wet sand of the beach and shrieked in joy at the excitement of feeling the lapping waves, your sense of joy resembled the confluence of earth and space. And as you observed the beautiful sunset, you soaked in the completeness of the charged up environment. And as you observed other children diving into the waters and retrieving their play balls, the roaring waves appeared to sing to a lullaby and also steadily enjoy the play. And as you demonstrated an interest in wearing the colorful bangles being dangled by the vendors, your attention was suddenly diverted by the color & patterns of various balloons floating up in the sky. And as you wanted to blow the air bubbles, your eyes got attracted by the monkeys competing with the rope man each trying to outwit the other in capturing your attention with their bag of bountiful tricks.
As you watched the clouds making faces at you, you decided to use your newly acquired bow & arrows and challenge them as you had seen in the mythological serial. And your innocent face showed a deep sense of achievement when the sun parted ways from the clouds and shone in its own abundant glory. And as you observed the spread of the ocean as far as your little eyes could see, you felt a need to further inspect the speck of dots that you observed growing larger on the horizon. And as you snatched the binoculars, you began to steadily describe the bobbing series of dots that were gradually increasing in size.
As you were deeply involved in trying to enquire about the fast approaching dots, you were suddenly licked by a small puppy which through its friendly bark seemed to give you an honest sense of approval. And as you reached out your hands to caress the bundle of joy, the puppy suddenly jumped and began to scratch rapidly below your feet. You seemed to be engrossed in the noisy and cheerful yelps by the puppy at regular intervals. And as it proudly proclaimed its find by uncovering a buried tuna fish, you suddenly squealed when you found yourself being surrounded by boisterous crows crowing loudly and wanting to grab a bite. And as you ran away from the crows you seemed to enjoy the melodious tones played by the breeze which was in complete harmony with the ripple of the waves. And as you remarked excitedly about the whistles blowing in the air, your hush-hush tone even seemed to outmatch the love state being exhibited by some speechless couples.
As you got active in searching the sand with you nimble fingers and keen eyes for oysters as you had learnt at school, you suddenly observed a pattern that had got created in the sand. And as you now got involved with your new desire of building a sand castle, your hair seemed to be flying in all directions and the excitement seemed to radiate your entire body. As you proudly finished the work of art on your dream home, you then started to build the bridge between the castle and the sea. And just as you were describing yourself as the princess of the sandcastle you suddenly expressed panic when the rising tide bought waters further onto the shore and engulfed your castle. And as you rushed towards the waters menacingly with your clenched fist and blood-red eyes, as if drawing them out for a confrontation, they suddenly receded as if professing their apologies and rewarded you with a big conch shell. And as your temporary anger vanished your pangs of hunger took over and your attention got diverted by the aroma from the various food stalls away from the salty waters.
As you approached the first stall, you were greeted by the variety of fast food on offer. As you wanted to initially quench your thirst, you decided to make a choice between the coconut vendor and the lime water vendor. As you grappled just for a minute thinking about your choices between the soft fruit with water as compared to the sweet & sour lime water, you finally settled for a deal with the coconut vendor. And as you expressed your desire in climbing up a coconut tree you were attracted by the ringing bell of the ice-cream vendor. And as you eagerly grabbed a bite at your favorite chocolate cone ice-cream, you were curiously attracted to a vendor who had his nose and ears pierced with a crowd gathered around him. And as you were curiously admiring him, you also developed a fascination for the corn that he was roasting and applying a tinge of lemon to spice it up. And as you voraciously made a bite at the sweet & spicy corn, you realized that your sharp teeth were not able to pierce it apart. And after trying all methods, when you finally were able to dislodge one piece of corn, you chewed it well and carried the rest as a trophy in your hands.
As you walked away from the food stalls, you showed your interest in having a photo clicked by the mobile cameraman and expressed your happiness at the promptness with which you were handed your photo in a frame. And as you wound up your day with a joy ride on the back of a camel soaking in the sunset and welcoming the stars, you body moving to & fro in a rhythm seemed as if to reflect on your day gone by and start planning for your next visit to the beach!
