As far as the eye can see...

Spending the two consecutive Sundays on a pseudo road trip (In reality, my friends wanted to go and eat) to the same area, I've realised something really interesting. Living in a concrete jungle really restricts one’s vision and strains the eyes.

Both times, the sky was an amazing blue – such a perfect shade, no one could ask for more. With fluffy white clouds that looked like one could bounce upon them. Yes, extremely cliché, but completely true.

As we drove along, we passed plantation after plantation – the expanse of green was soothing and strangely belittling. I wish I caught a picture of that, but we didn’t stop so I missed that picture perfect opportunity - All is green, till it meets the horizon where it meets a beautiful blue sky.

Someone once said, “as far as the eye can see, the land belong to that family.” After this trip, I beg to differ a little.

“The land belongs to none and to all”

And it’s up to us to take care of it for the future generations. For this period, we are its keepers and when the time comes, new keepers will cast their watchful eye upon it.
