SaptRangi

I was enjoying a ride on a 2-wheeler on a beautiful evening on a sunday, happy on the way back after shopping for my rider.... It was cool non-rainy evening at the end of the monsoons. I suddenly felt cold at a spot on my hand then on my forehead only to realize drops of rain were happily sayin hi-hello to us earthlings. I just raised my head to enoy the slight showers when Lo! Someone up der had painted the most beautiful rainbow I had ever seen in person! It went from the extreme left of the sky that I could lay my eyes on to the extreme right... It was just so breath-taking I couldnt take my eyes off it. I was speachless for a while.
Each of the 7 colors were so very distinct, it could be used to actually teach wat a rainbow looks like to someone unaware of this natural phenominon. I could so distinctly make out the Violet from the Indigo from the Blue from the Green from the Yellow from the Orange from the Red. I have mostly seen rainbows which are all blurred into a violetish-bluish shade merging in to a lemon yellow following into an orange tint... If what we generally see is a spray-painted rainbow each color smudging into its neighbour, this time it was a very effortful painting first sketched and then filled in with colors restricted to der own space... and the effort consistent from this corner to that very end. The beautiful evening blue sky crowned with this tiara....


As the evening progressed to sun-down nearing 7 PM, the rainbow slowly started blending into the sky, loosing its sharpness. I could see the clouds behindthe rainbow through it. Wat a sight ... colorful clouds along a rainbow.... something very novel for me.


As the sky darkened further, the rainbow lost itself in the evening, leaving behind golden clouds adorning the sky towards the west. This time the clouds had a golden lining.


I was sooo yearning for my camera during the ride, I couldnt click any pics to share but this has been left etched in my mind for a looong long time to come. Also I noticed one thing ... We have a lot of beauty around us, Just that we dont always notice it in our busy life, our heads full of thoughts restricted to us alone!
