Morning melody at our residence
Every morning, our home comes alive with a symphony of sounds which creates a serene and comforting environment. The day begins with the gentle chirping of birds, their melodies floating through the air. The sound of pigeons adds a peaceful rhythm, reminding us of nature's presence even in the heart of New Delhi.The 'drip-drop' sound of water from the tap is a gentle reminder of the quiet moments before the day fully awakens. This soothing background noise blends harmoniously with the subtle rustling of the breeze as it flows through the leaves of the giant mango tree in our garden. Mango leaves dance in the wind, adding a whispering undertone to the morning orchestra.
As the newspaper vendor cycles through our block, the ring of his bell adds a lively note to the morning's melody. It is a familiar and somewhat comforting sound, marking the start of the day with a sense of normalcy.
Inside our home, the atmosphere becomes pleasantly devotional by the soulful strains of Bengali and Hindi devotional songs being played softly on my laptop. These spiritual tunes, coupled with my wife's gentle prayers, create a profound sense of peace and serenity. It brings more tranqulity in the pleasant morning.
Together, these sounds form a beautiful morning symphony that envelops our home, bringing joy, peace and a deep sense of connection with the Almighty.
