I could feel the warmth in my hand and some chills on my foot...standing by the shore with my soul mate... Leaving my bro behind ,to try his hand on photography, I looked in front..it was a vast spread, silent ocean and in some corner of my mind i was hearing the happy laughter and frightened screams from the theme park behind. I still thought i could stay on the shore, but the water was too freezing, so we started back on a stroll. I saw so many kids... one gal with her favorite toy that she won by hitting few balloons, another on top of a ride with no one around, a small boy's face with a purple mouth bearing a satisfied smile...the big one's revealing "the child" within them, by playing along.. It was a people's park, as i found the rides just not enough to keep them all busy... didn't know where they all were until now... They came out blooming from no where, just like the blossoms... all of a sudden i found the place so dense with people... Barbecues, music, people taking long strolls along the shore side, just like me... it was lively and refreshing. I didn't know how time passed by... i was carried away by all that i saw..The rides, that take us high, so high that we disappear in the evening sun. For a second it makes us feel that the whole world is so small. Then we come rushing upside down or zig zag... a rush of air that blows on our faces making us struggle to breath.. tingles and makes our stomach peep out for a second. We open our tight shut eyes and feel happy that we landed on the earth and look for another ride that'll take us higher. Though scary.. the moment stays as a memory for the years to come... fascinated by "the doll winning games", i had an urge to try my luck, and so i played this basket ball game. I did use all the possible chances for $10 inclusive of the extra trials the game keeper provided out of pity... but no doll :( .. then we moved on to the balloon game.. you think i would have tried again??? nope.. not that i give up so easily.. just thought ill watch this time ;)... this time my husband tried his luck ... and blew as many balloons as required to win me a cute monkey doll... hmmm.. so finally i got a doll... i don't go crazy about dolls.. but that has never stopped me from having one.. then we again started to walk around, of course with my new monkey companion on my shoulders, hugging my neck . We passed by a food court.. and until then i didn't realise i was hungry... but now its tough 'cause my stomach was totally screaming its throat out , so just thought we'll stop by.. had some fries to crunch and coke to quench... and then????
Again we started out on a long stroll. I was scrolling down the moments my brother had captured... out of which a few i felt could be framed and nurtured... Then we passed by a line of beach houses.. each one, welcoming guests with a unique style of flowery fragrances.. Couldn't miss to capture those flowers.. It was an ultimate place for relaxation.For a few hours i just lived the moment without having any other thoughts, no worries, no plans.. just figuring out what next to enjoy, for the whole day... I was totally charged up for the weeks to come.. "Refreshing" was the summer of 2010....
