I still remember that weekend afternoon when I got spellbound with engraved memory. An invitation was offered to me to volunteer for fishing. Sounded like someone was attempting to make my day! Well, here is the fun and exciting part of the story.
The guy who offered me was neither my friend nor my distant cousin. He aged almost thrice mine and on the top of that I was not accustomed to the fishing prior this to my life. Extricating myself from odds and reverencing to the Almighty, I started greeting him as my “American brother”. I almost had thought otherwise, I was going to sink deep in an unusual spot.
I cannot be so timid not to justify that I do not want to cultivate intrigued balance of my life knowing that I am around clinically depressed patient most of the time. Not embedding to my reluctantness; I was determined to reinforce every eminent enthrallment as within my grasp.
Unwinding myself…. what the heck!!!! If not anything, I would have at least showed respect to his benevolence summoned. I intended to give this a trial and accompany him along. With the little pleasant breeze, rustling of leaves, quiet ripples on the lake water, accompanied with flying birds, swimming ducks and turtles; didn’t take very long to convince myself.
Restituting my bond with the nature was an incredible getaway in today’s frenetic pace. It is not uncommon to witness people always rushing in one or the other way, harrying in itsy bitsy things, rude and discontented in their work. Talk about the immunity anyone had developed lately from a customer service representative. I will tell you, it is almost equivalent to scarifying one’s civility. Quickened pace has merely been a virtue but rather a vice which we seldom recognize.
I still have not figured out whether it was a happenstance or if my luck had favored me that day or I was really instructed well to catch fish, astoundingly I caught 3 big cat fishes. It was first my time I had ever stepped so close and for so long to the nature. Exaltedly I fell in love with its graciousness. So much of fun, it was a hobby I could afford to retain as a student. Well, I will keep that in mind later for the next episode…..
