The night sky

Oh no.. am definitely not in a mood to write a poem. Too much turbulence. But the night sky was awesome to look at since i noticed it last.. Orion was clear.. Ursa Minor was clear.. Its been sometime since i soaked myself in the beauty of a the tapestry called the sky. Since my childhood i have always been pointing to look at the 3 stars called Orion’s Belt. someone told me it was in a perfect straight line. well.. after i grew up, i noticed they were not exactly straight.

There a few memorable sights of the sky i cannot forget.. Must have been 3rd standard or 4th.. The most clear in my head right now has to be the night at rameshwaram. It was one of those family trips and all my cousins were present.. Prashanth and me were taking a walk and loitering around.. i think it was 3 at night and there was not a single cloud in the sky.. but every inch of the sky at had atleast one star.. it was amazing..! The whole sky was ablaze with sparkling stars.. i have never seen anything like it again.. its one of those rare occasions that catch your eye and your heart..
