Bird and Sunlight

Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

Athirappilly Road

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep.

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep. 

~ Robert Frost (Stopping by woods on a snowy evening)

I came across this everlasting lines penned by Robert Frost way back when I was in school, perhaps in class VIII or IX. I still remember the day when my teacher explained me the poem. Since then I am forever in love this stanza and which constantly acted as a guiding voice which tells me to follow my dreams and not to wait and stare.

The 5 kilometer stretch  which connects Athirappilly Falls  and Vazhachal Forest in Kerala is very peaceful, only few tourist buses, cars and motorbikes ply in the road which is otherwise empty and silent. As I was walking down the stretch I suddenly saw this motorbike and I couldn't help myself getting reminded of Robert Frost.
