A Birthday

Hi friends, today I am going to discuss about my birthday. So let's get started.

TODAY is 7th April, my birthday and today we, as per our South Indian tradition went to a temple. I had a head bath with cold water early in the morning, had my breakfast which was very special to me and went to the temple. Since my father, my brother and I are atheists, we were least interested. This time we are in Chennai and that I should go to the temple was a warning given by my mom to me.

So I was ready and confident. At exactly 10 AM we started our journey to the "Anantha Padmanabhaswamy" temple at Chennai. So while going in the car, it was so cold and cloudy climate which I started enjoying as the journey is 70% in the forest area. I started enjoying the dark clouds, they seemed to shook up the entire sky. It started drizzling and a heavy breeze of air blew. I opened our car mirror and was smelling the perfume of soil; while raining its perfume is so narcotic that I started getting addicted to it and I wished God to make a perfume for me which smells as soil while raining. So slowly I stretched my hand out of the window that my skin felt the touch of the drizzling rainwater, my eyes were seeing the clouds, my hand stood to splash the rainwater. My mother was saying to stop it and close the car's window but my ears were only listening to the sound of lightning and thunder and my eyes were eager to watch lightning and thunder. My brother and I, stood counting the number of thunders that came by and we were enjoying this moment as if we have never seen this kind of rain before. At a certain distance of mine, I saw a peacock opening its feathers and dancing In front of the cold breeze. It all seemed to be a wonderful journey I've never experienced before and I saw some deers which were taking shelter under the trees.

And now it seemed to be starting to rain heavily so we stopped the car in a Dhaba and was waiting for the rain to get controlled, but it never seemed as though it would control. As I and my brother were kids, we were trying to do some naughty things. I started it first. I splashed the water in mud on my brother, he started replaying my move and did the same until our parents' attention shook on us. When they saw us they started scolding us for doing it and it is the least my mom could have done at the situation. As my mom bought another pair for safety, she removed our muddy dresses and made us wear that another pair. Slowly the flow of rain started decreasing and we returned on our journey by giving them gratitude for sheltering us. Then I started watching the sky and was thinking. Even though the rain had stopped, the sky was not yet clear. The breeze was also very heavy and by thinking about it I reached the entrance

So now I've got dressed up in the car and was ready. When I entered the temple early in the morning there was less crowd and when I entered I saw the beautifully sculptured pillars of the temple. After watching all the glorious Gods, I got to see the beautiful sculpture of gold that is Lord Vishnu sleeping on his snake known as "Vasuki" and it was my first time seeing such a sculpture. I loved it. As I was about to return, I saw lots of beggars at the exit of the temple. As I saw them begging my heart felt like bleeding and wanted to help all of them. As it is my birthday, my father gave me some money to donate to them. While donating it, I saw gratitude in their face. As I saw it for the first time I didn't know how to respond but the feeling I got at that moment of donating I am not able to forget till now. if I see a beggar, I like to donate. It gives me happiness and satisfaction of something. I left to home on behalf of the satisfaction of that day

SO I REQUEST EVERYONE OF YOU TO DONATE TO THE POOR AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. I ASSURE YOU A SORT OF SATISFACTION AND HAPPINESS WILL COME TO YOU. THANK YOU FOR READING
