It rained yesterday, and the weather changed. It was a pleasant morning and I got out of my block to feel the fresh breeze.
I walked down a tiled pathway . The hedge along the pathway was freshly pruned. The cool breeze cleared my cluttered mind, and then something wonderful and colorful caught my sight. I looked around, and picked it up. I slipped it into my pocket, and moved on my path.
I was happy to find so beautiful , shinny and colorful Blue Marble. The sight of a Marble are like happy thoughts. The last I hold such was many years ago. When Bahi(Big Bro) agreed in advance that we were playing 'for fair' (all marbles are returned to the owner).
Then I lost contact with it for the rest of the day. Late in the evening, I was helping my son with the history of Ancient Heritage of India. The chapter ran into sixty five pages, quiet a volume for him to hold interest. Around eleven thirty he left the study for his bed.
I continued, to read ...
A tinkling sound made me lift my head. I saw the saucer placed on the glass of water moved to make it. The ceiling fan was off, the windows were shut. I puzzled. I closed the book and reached to switch off the light. ..
And there on the book shelf , my eyes caught the sight of the reflecting Blue Marble, and the colours inside were spinning around, making it look so nice ...

Seems that marble made you drift into the lovely memories of the past.. It happens many a times that some things though however small bring along big memories.

oh wow marbles ! soo nice
i loved marbles
i used to play some brainvisa or some such game of marbles. i had green ones though :)
my favourite one was not round but oval :)
Ya how much joy is packed inside the little ball of glass - I love looking through it - actually impossible but love to look at all those colours inside. I remember exchanging marbles for matchbox labels too - forget the exchange rate now. And how I waited for monday mornings to take them to school and show them off the new acquisitions over the weekend.
OH how easily satisfied we were!
Hi ajay,
