5 am wake up call
(I wish I could put that darn bird on snooze)
look out of the window
no sign of the slumbering winter sun
steal some extra moments in the blanket
alarm clock( groan)
(switch off ), slide out of warmth
quick shower
soft music, prayer of gratitude
time to savor the splendor
of yet another glorious day(before it ends)
inhale the radiant prana of life
exhale the impurities
breath, deep and easy
wrapped in silence
still the inner
A ritual of solitude
a pit stop for soul
first light of the sun
filter through the dewy trees
stretch like a cat
laptop blinks
new emails, updates overnight
greet the world , stop the urge to chat
switch off
Alarm shrieks from boys-zone
a reality check
door bell rings, mobiles ring,
rush hour begins
A quick coffee, breakfast for boys
hurried goodbyes
all three men out by 9
peace returns
( a brief period of solace
warmed by fresh hot coffee
and a quick peek into virtual world)
phone rings and rings and rings
(let it )

5 a.m.!!!!????? Ritu faints with shock!
lol, I usually wake up between 4 to 5 . Old habit Ritu but stay in bed. This darn bird starts to give out a shrill cry around 5. It is difficult to ignore. 😦
No point lingering in bed after that and I miss the meditation routine too. I catch up a nap in daytime :).

Monika faints next to Ritu..
5 am seriously?
LOL well Monika , it is an old habit, dad used to say one must get up with the first rays of sun. we as kids used to be happy in monsoons and winter :p but if you get into a routine it is at times irritating also. WTH I do make an exception at times by tucking in again sometime . 😀 if it is an off day for kids. Hubby usually goes by 6:30 or goes in the afternoon.

Am just 30 mins behind u, Tiku. 🙂 I love those quiet moments, in the home, before everyone is up. That quiet cup of tea, by the balcony is certainly so inviting.
Oh yeah, I think I know that bird….there used to be one near my bil’s house, starting to make sounds very early in the morning.
