Chalte Chalte

Hello there …After my intro blog , I requested my friends to tell me about the topics in which they were interested or were passionate about . And I really got some interesting replies . Some of them were passionate about sleeping , some were passionate about beaches , some were passionate about bhajiya (Indian fritters) chai combo but the most unique among them was “Evening walks”

When I first saw that , I thought what I can possibly write about Evening walks ? I mean I could write about the health benefits of walks , but we all know that right ? . But then the word “Evening” caught my attention . This friend of mine didn’t say “Morning” walks or just “Walks” but Evening walks . So what’s so special about them ?

I live in a society which consists of multiple apartments . Within the premises we have a small playground , a cricket net ,a garden and a long walkway which surrounds our society . I remember from my undergrad days , whenever I used to return from college ,and it would be around 6 or 7 pm , the society used to brim with activity. You could hear small children playing , teenagers having football matches (in a basketball court :p) , some guys walking their pets and several group of people walking and chitchatting .

If I am correct to observe, Morning walks are generally taken for health purposes and also we have a full day ahead of ourselves . We might find ourselves planning mentally for activities ahead. But evening is a time for leisure and relaxation. Most of the daily chores are done be it your office , household jobs or homework. You can head out of your homes for recreational activities , it might be playing sports or going on an evening walk with your neighbors or friends. As a child I remember how I used to wait eagerly for 6 pm to strike so I could head out and play .

I personally think that it is a great way to unwind yourself after a busy day . Even if you do not have a company sometimes , going on a short walk in evening helps one to contemplate about the days happenings , what were the learnings and gives an opportunity to introspect about one selves .

I have lots of great memories of going on such walks and in my opinion it is really refreshing and a great mood lifter . I believe you all will also have such experiences as well . Do share them and let me know. I hope you enjoyed reading this and as well might take a walk after reading this . See you in the next one .
