escapist

Me:

There’s a kind of darkness that creeps in during those hours, and somehow, I found a strange sense of safety in it. As much as I sometimes wish I could escape it, running away from that feeling leaves me empty like I’m missing something familiar. Something that, for better or worse, became a part of me.

This part of the song "Wake Me" by Bleachers, my sister dedicated it to me. I love it.

There's a lake in Rajghat that has many ducks and geese. I love watching them closely. This time I got to see some goslings too and they were really adorable little yellow furry ones. I literally felt like stealing them and running back home as fast as I could haha. They were following the adults around,swimming a little with them, then coming out to eat grass. I noticed how the adult geese were always protecting them never leaving their sides. It was absolutely adorable to watch.

I sat under a tree near the lake to read. The wind was blowing perfectly and there were a lot of crows cawing loudly. The tree was just by the water's edge, and it was around 4 PM and i could see the reflections of trees on the water. The sunlight was falling on the lake and reflecting back into my eyes but the water was shining beautifully. I read for a while and then got lost in observing everything around me. I didn’t even realize it was already 6 PM.

Later I took a walk around. There were so many fallen leaves lying like a thick, colorful blanket. I walked over them just to hear the crunch of dry leaves beneath my feet, it was such a wholesome moment. Walking further I saw trees in different shades of green, yellow, and pink. I was talking with my sister about how beautiful trees are, whether they have leaves or not.

I came across some palash trees with vibrant orange and pinkish flowers. The ground under them was covered in a carpet of fallen flowers, looking like an orange and pink blanket. There were many parrots on the palash trees too. Towards the end of the walk, I saw a dog sitting peacefully under the shade of a tree.
