Yes, I know, I haven’t made an earth-shattering discovery…but on Sunday, I experienced it so deeply that I had to say it out loud.
I was returning from Delhi by flight. As the aircraft descended to land at the Pune airport, I was looking out of the window.
It wasn’t the first time I was in an aeroplane, but this time something felt different. The awareness was so acute and so high !
From a quilt of dark green, light green, mustard yellow, brown, ochre stripes intersected by grey undulating lines, the focus became sharper and I could see tiny houses, vehicles plying on the roads, bonsai trees, patches of green fields, and human dolls - a miniature city, in fact.
From so high up, the city looked so well-planned, neatly divided into square sections separated by roads and so clean ! The people on the vehicles, on the roads, just like a city of Little Tom Thumbs and Thumbelinas !
I felt as if I was playing the game SimCity !
In some way it felt like an out of body experience !
Birds have the best life !
Thank you The Wright Brothers !
