Many wrote about the awe-inspiring and beauteous Niagara.As John keats said "A thing of beauty is joy forever",it was indeed a beauty and sure have left us happy.Happiness was the common feeling that crossed all of our minds,but i was sure each one had a interpretation of his/her own to carry it back home or atleast for the next visit.
As a child i had heard and read about the beauty of the falls and always wanted to have a glimse of it.And years back a friend of mine visited the falls and described to me so beautifully that standing in hyderabad i could feel the water sprinkle.Hats of to her description and my imagination.My desire to visit the falls became strong.And finaly i had the oppurtunity to visit the beauty.I was expecting to be thrilled and excited,which i was not.The reasons may be many like we have seen the falls in the movies and pictures n number of times or may be i was expecting too much from a waterfall i couldnt get it.No doubt it was a beautiful sight and wonderful too,but the feeling was not what i had expected.
All the way back home i kept thinking about what each one of us might have felt ,though i didnt ask them personally i made a wild guess.My one and half year old son might have worried that he is getting all wet from the water gushing down.My nearly four year would have thought someone has surely forgot to turn off the big pipe and wasting the water....her mommy would surely find it out.My workholic husband,must have wondered how much energy generation was done ,considering the voluminous and speedy water fall.My senior citizen father would have thought "Ha! onemore feather in my cap....i could visit the niagara falls".I surely missed my mother who couldnt come.coming back to me i thought for a second oh my god the water fall doesnt stop even for a second?(Dont be shocked????waterfall stopping????weird just keep reading you will get my point)From morning evening the most cherished part of my day is when in the afternoon ,my kids have there nap,i enjoy the silence and break i have from running around them.( i dont even like talking on phone)watching the water fall gushing down dutifully every second...made me think it didnt stop even a micro second.doing its task uninterruptedly,without a break.Niagara falls an inspiration....new slogan????????
As a popular verse goes"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder",may be the scenary remains the same...depending upon our thinking each one has his/her own way of looking at things.
