Stars in the Sky

It is not secrete that the sky is something very huge and all other words relating it to its vastness. It has been proven number of times that it is something which we can’t touch. That is why we always say ‘Sky is the limit’. The sky has always fascinated me because of lots of reasons. Many times I look above and I shall find at least one painting formed by conglomeration of clouds on the canvas of the sky. The arrangement of clouds becomes so beautiful that it becomes very easy to identify something meaningful. Of course this happens with me only day time but at night the sky becomes the most beautiful thing in this world. The reason is known to everyone. This is the time when the Sun God goes for the rest after day’s hard work and asks its little friends to please the mankind with their splashing beauties. It is so amazing how these stars can do this beautiful thing since ages. Every night they will come and do their job but they never will expect anything from us. I used to observe them in my childhood. My father being a geography teacher, always encouraged me to observe the sky. He helped me to identify different stars and their formations at particular point of time.

We all can identify that not every star shines with equal intensity. Some are bright and some are not. Even the farthest star tries to reach out to us. But still they never compete with each other. They are happy with whatever they have and they believe to share their light with us. But the truth is every star is equal in its capacity. What matters is their relative distance with us. Some are much brighter but enough far to look dull. But the nature has a perfect harmony to balance this and that’s why after ages of formation of universe it looks as beautiful as it used to. We also have to realise the relative distance of so many things in our lives. It is true that closer things always look bright but if we are pursuing the beauty of life we need to reach out to the distant points as well. We need to try to reduce all relative distances if we want to. And if we don’t then also it is fine with the stars because they know in all probability they have to do their job as usual. So decision is always ours.
