Three of
us, me and my two friends always walk home on foot after the class. Walking has become our everyday routine. To pass the time we do chitchat while tottering
along the road side until we arrive home. In fact gossiping and to chitchat is
a common activity for every human being and so we do the same. But we normally talk about our younger days
and where our future would be landed up in next few years. We exchange our
views and opinions each other but not about others criticism. Thus, we become
aware of what is like and dislike of anther person and through this three of us
become an intimate friendship like a sister to one parents. The strongest weapon
for which needed in mending friendship is to share a certain feelings and to
have patience in understanding others inconvenience. If you be optimistic you
will woo the friendship. This is what I believe. To condense my blathering and to
not waste your precious time in reading this let me directly yank to the next
theme.
It was on
Wednesday. Weather was too harsh, scorching our face into reddish skin. When we
were strolling my friend unintentionally blew a whistle. Immediately another
one started mimicking her. By seeing
them whistling I was thrown to nostalgia of my days at village. I intervened
their whistling by telling whistling is a belief that my native people practice.
When I was a child I accompanied with my mother in the field for helping. While
she was filtering barley from other unwanted things she often whistled. I
wondered and asked, why she was whistling frequently. She said that she was
calling the wind to exorcise dust from barley. I can vividly visualize how
aesthetically she used to whistle. After hearing me they were amazed as their
native too has the same belief. We looked at each other in grinned.
We were
completely engrossed in whistling, imitating each other and laughing crazily. Instead
of being vigilant in watching out we were lost in relishing. Suddenly my friend
screamed “see eagle” it is coming to us”. When I twisted my neck to glance at
it, yes she was right. I could see its silhouette, wings widely stretches,
flying in the sky heading towards us. We had no idea what it was aiming for.
It directly flew just over our head and we all were in terrible thought if it
could pierce on our coward but the foremost brain. I defense head with my
two hands. When I looked at them they too veiled their head with the college bags. We were scared to eagle. It hovered just above us and whirled for
transience.
I held my
head up and watched where it will fly over. Perhaps eagle might have visualized
us bigger than it so it has left us. I was wondering where it would hovers
next. It suddenly descends and with its beak attempted to catch a dog which was
innocently sniffing into the bushes for scavenging. Even that dog was bigger
than its size. When I was young I heard that eagle hunts for hens and cocks as
their food but not the dogs. May be eagle must be in starvation and might has
seen dog smaller enough to catch for food. There were some other dogs nearby
but it attempted at the smaller one. it was unfortunate day for eagle as it could
not hold a grip on dog and it must be heavier than eagle's own weight, so the eagle lost
its prey. On that day the dog was supposed to be victim but was lucky enough to
stay alive. In yelped dog ran away as fast as it could hide itself from the
eagle's sight. My friends were laughing seeing the dog frightened.
It was contrasting scenery that someone could think beyond our imagination; Dog scavenging on garbage that something to eat, and the eagle tirelessly flying over in the vast skies, wandering and hungrily longing for food. Finally the eagle went back with a stalk.

We were actually
whistling to call the wind but instead the eagle loomed before us without our
knowledge or anticipation. This is terrible and amazing things to happen and
see.
My
request to you all is while you are walking, stop for a while and sense the
beauty of nature. Look and observe what’s happening around. You will see the
cycle of life in the world and that is your education for better enlightenment
of life.
The earth
is beautiful but our impure thoughts and minds visualize it as ugly.
