Up and Above

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

OK, let me tell you why am in a mood to recite those one of the most popular English nursery rhymes. As a kid , we all have had spent enough of time reciting those four lines.They were mere lines for us at that time..but, now, as i see and understand and get the meaning of those lines , i saw a whole truth.

From my busy schedule , yesterday i started my old time hobby of star gazing.I went on terrace with my sky map and a small torch and when i stepped on the terrace and looked at sky above me, oh, what a site it was......

I was astonished, fascinated for next one and a half hour which i spent while gazing at stars. Star gazing wasn't a easy ride for me.As a armature star gazer , i could hardly find out the said star in my map. Addition to my disgrace were a street lights and house hold lights which were standing as a light barrier. It was not a easy task.But, it was full of fun. I just enjoyed myself and my leisure time, gazing up and above.
