It was a lazy afternoon and the sun was finally blessing us with its beauty after a really long winter. I drove Sehar back from school and thinking was the last thing of my mind. Sehar however, had a very different idea of her afternoon. She was carefully watching the sun. She was quiet and thoughtful. And as we reached the signal near the home - out she popped THE QUESTION- Mumma, the sun is following us? Can it walk? Does it have feet?
This time I wasn't going to get fooled by Science and so I decided to create a little journey out of our wondorous life. I decided to chase the sun and let Sehar guide me. Some places the sun was behind us, some places ahead of us and some places next to us. Sehar was glued to the window, nose pressed and eyes wide. She was carefully watching the sun and wondered if the sun had a wand that helped it reach places so fast. It was absolute magic. Hey, I heard you saying direction. No, no, no - don't let the educated mind fool you, it doesn't know everything. For a moment, let go and let the magic talk to you.
It was not long, before Sehar fell asleep and I took her back home. Happy with our mini adventure, I looked at the Sun and found it smiling back. It was in the game with us. I felt the warmth on the cheek and for a moment wondered if it was there, right next to me.
As expected, Sehar's mini adventure continued in her dreams and when she woke up she came running to me - "You know what Mumma, the sun doesn't have feet. Actually, it has wings, those shiny things around it, thats why it can go everywhere in the sky".
I smiled and wondered if the sun flew to me on that wild sunny afternoon...
