Due to COVID-19 pandemic, many outdoor activities were on hold. First two initial days were far more than boring. I was calm from outside, but the inner me was screaming loud. Felt like somebody took away a major part of our life. As days passed by, I got used to it. Things had slowed down and I was getting into new hobbies - singing, bird watching, admiring nature.
Today is 6th April 2020, lockdown day 13 in India. Sitting in my room, working from home and at the same time trying to keep the same enthusiasm on, I involved myself in small activities.
It is late afternoon and I'm back to my room (on the first floor) with a glass of water, standing near the window, watching the trees swaying, feeling the cool breeze on my face.
Unconsciously I started playing with water, sprinkling and splashing it down. And as I continued, I began to notice the shape the water formed when I splashed it till it hit the ground. I was surprised to see this water forming different drops - some big, some small and some very huge depending how I was splashed it. And some of these large drops were further breaking into multiple drops before hitting the ground.
My entire life, I have been drinking water, utilizing it for many different things, but how come I never noticed this beauty water had to offer? "Was I too busy in my life running behind the world outside that I forgot about this little things I already have with me?" A question popped up my mind.
It was not something great that I noticed, but this small thing captured my mind for couple of minutes and I was joyfully playing with the water to see those droplets again and again. If it was not a lockdown, I would have just poured the water at one shot and would have never noticed this beauty of crystal clear water drops.
