Beauteous morn
Early morning in spring. The air has a hint of coolness.
A large, cool, high-ceilinged room. Silence - soothing, not scary.
Large open windows i.e. no grills (rarely found in Mumbai)
The view - manicured lawns bordered by flowery hedges. Tall trees.
The smell of wet grass.
Sunshine creeping over the wet lawns, which glisten and dazzle
as if they were embroidered with a thousand sequins.
A fat white cat occupied with the serious business of sunbathing.
A slim golden cat engrossed in the equally serious activity of grooming
itself.
Crows cawing as they search for breakfast on the lawn. The occasional
shriek of a parrot winging past the window.
Heard in the distance: hoot of a railway train.
sillifluous at work, occasionally pausing to admire the view,
greedily soaking up the precious silence.
Idyllic, what?
