Expressions...

It was supposed to be just another walk along the beach, being it too late for any water sport. Ashish and I got out of our resort, the backside of which just extended into the Patong beach (Phuket, Thailand). It was getting silent with all umbrellas turned down (during the day time, if you see the view from above, it looked like a multi-colored necklace along the sea-line). Suddenly out of nowhere, there was this guy offering us his Jet-skii for a ride. It was a tempting deal, specially at that time of the day! I looked at Ashish and there was the same twinkle in his eyes!

In no time we were both heading inwards into the sea, away from the beach! There was a cruise at some distance, and my first thought was.. lets reach up there! Earlier the waves were a little too annoying (to be honest, scary!), probably because of the shallow waters (and also because of the fact that we were new at it! :P). But after going in for a while it was fine. With waves splashing at our feet and the sea breeze brushing hard at our faces, together we were on for the ride!

The Sun was almost about to take its leave for the day, leaving behind its traces over the ever enchanting canvas! With those melting colors of orange and red, the sky was taking its own philosophical shade of blue. All other shapes around, were wrapping up in shadows, preparing for a new show. As if, each existence around was saying "Good-bye for now!" in its own unique way!

Then we watched the Sun go down! Even at that speed, it felt so calm and peaceful. Our spirits lifted, both with thrill and content, there was so much we could feel, but no words could put it right and good enough. We just kept silent. I guess, that was the best expression we could have had to acknowledge The Moment!
