Some say light comes even before the eternal beauty,some say days are more beautiful but for the first time in my life did I experience nocturnal beauty was in the jungles of Beirut 170km from Kuchira in Orissa.
It was one'0'clock in the morning the darkness filled with the shadows of the forest canopies in their viridescent habiliments.The trees decorated in the soothing moonlight,the dulcet sound of trampling leaves under the soft animal paws pleased the very mind.These were accompanied by the rhythmic buzz of some unknown insect.I was amazed by the sense of tranquility and loneliness.The northern fringes of the forest was glistening with the reflection of the moon on the crystal clear waters of the Samarmudi Lake...........
Some times the dead silence of the night was suddenly shattered by the screeching night bird and sometimes by the unpleasant croaks of the toads.The upper branches of the canopies were covered with some tiny flowers with heavenly fragrance and the mellifluous voice of the the wind passing through the branches was singing in the fragrance's melody.The light from the moon penetrated the canopies and looked as if it was dressing nature in her wedding dress.
The pulchritude nocturnal environment of the Samarmudi Lake with its lighted wave crests was truly a pleasing scene.The moon emanated a soothing white light and alacrity of nature in the dead of the night amazed my sleepy thoughts. The shaded canopies in the colour of the shadows filled with the playful tune north wind ,truly arose my temper against men who say night is ugly ,night is a scenary of sulk.
That night even the howl of the wolf seemed to be the harp of heaven,My experience in the jungle that night not only made me fall in love with earth but also helped to open a window in my mind that has seen what nature can do to make herself beautiful .Our journey through the jungle continued but then again I was tired after the long day's expedition .I coiled myself in my sleeping bag and droned on dreaming about beautiful things that the earth had to offer us.Once I had opened my eyes at that time the crimson sky was making way for the peeping sun..............
