I was writing a serious article for my blog few minutes back. I was struck with a paragraph. Nothing, nothing came out of me even after about an hour of thinking. I couldn't ooze out my ideas through the pen on the paper. I was really struck.
I took out my camera and went out to refresh myself. I went anticlockwise my residence with my eyes in the trees anticipating a bird or two. No birds. But a squirrel captivated my eyes for about fuve minutes. I froze my moment to capture the squirrel's moment. With a small guava in its mouth, the squirrel ran the tree beside the waste pit. As I expected, it stopped on a branch to nibble its hunt. It was perfect view for me to capture its view till the guava fell down unfortunately. Then it ran away leaping from tree to tree and vanished into thick woods below my residence.
I walked further following the drain below the playground. The group of children led by sir Dendup and Ms Kezang did exceptional job in clearing the drain blocked by sands and thick bushes. They dug out the mud and cleared the bushes. They too might have released extra energy in doing that job as equally as those involved in draining out the puddle behind the academic block.
An iguana crawling in the drain took me further. The iguana stopped when I stopped. And yet another moment for me to froze to take the reptile's moment. It rested perfectly against brown background of soil. A perfect camouflage, I mumbled. It crawled fast at the sound of my doorstep and vanished into the bushes. The grasshoppers hopped and crickets creaked as I moved further.
After few minutes of scanning the nature around, Dharangang River rushing fast, crickets creaking, butterflies fluttering... I turned back to my residence hoping that I would would be able to clear the boulders blocking the flow of my writing which I considered carried a serous note.
Sometimes it is better to go out into the nature and come back refreshed with her power when struck in the middle of any important assignment. Better go out than banging our head on the desk when I am short of ideas.
