Jobs fill your pockets,
Adventures fill your soul.-
I was standing diagonally away from you. You saw me rushing towards something with undivided attention. You followed my gaze and in no time knew exactly what attracted me like a magnet. You also reached the tip of the virtual triangle which was between you, me and the point to which I was aiming for. The ecstatic child in me had spotted a clownfish nest. Just when I looked up to share the moment with you, you had your eyes shut. I wasn't sure whether you were assimilating the moment or silently thanking God. I caught you with your pleading face expression and I laughed. Just when you opened your eyes a fish swam from behind your head. It was a blue tang. I had found my Nemo and Dory. When I was admiringly looking at the fish and you were looking at me, we both got what we wanted.

When I went for scuba diving, I was not sure how I will do it. I doubted more when I realized that I am not able to breathe from mouth as instructed. My instructor, though, was good. He said, "you are doing good." Those kind, encouraging words helped me. It assured me. I got my focus back. And I dived in, with trust.
When we are in chaos, in doubt, seeking help, feeling disconnect from self a single assuring word can work magic. Why not return it when we see others going through it?-
I have run miles in flash.. and seconds in moments
My eyelashes flap with counting times
To witness the pink flowers flipping n yellow flowers falling.
My subtle toes stretching towards green grass
And my playful fingers reaching out the olive corals
I’m smelling the orange sunset far in the buildings and blushing for the golden fire beacons
Hearing out chirping feels, feeling out shady beats
I have tasted the moments with quaffing gulps
Little by little.. time by time.. me by my shadow dreamt the rainbow dreams.

The journey to the blue was never easy,
But she called out to me as if I was her baby..
I held my head high as she offered me her hand to dive,
I trusted her intent and she made me feel alive.
The waves treasure secrets larger than life,
To which I was greatly surprised.
Calm and gentle in her approach but fierce while defending her soul.
So much to learn from the blue only if we ever knew!-
The underwater world..
It was magical,
As I glided through the insides of pristine blue water...
Like a child in a wonderland..
A swarm of crimson coloured fishes swam over me,
While I touched the tiny clown fishes passing by..
Amazed by the various hues of corals small and big,
The intricacies of their shapes,
And the tiny vibrant fishes peeping from their hollows...
The flora and fauna around..
I was anything but fine,
Awestruck by the beauty of this world..
Emotions choked within me,
My mind was way ahead..
Moments of silence as I reached the shore,
Unable to speak..
My mind silently absorbing the magic that I witnessed..
And shed a tear for the dream come true...-
They say that ones attitude changes with the altitude one reaches
This might be true as
While scuba diving each look for one another
While train/bus journey even strangers become friends
While on flight people rarely talk to each other-
