Cue cards The first time when you admired the sky.

 Cue Card-30 

The first time when you admired the sky. 

• What were you doing? // Who was with you? // What you saw? 

The first time, I properly admired the sky was white drinking tea in my balcony. // I was sitting alone. // I saw a grey coloured and clouded sky with a thin silver lining. 

I am an avid admirer of nature and I love nature in all its manifestations whether it is trees, clouds, rivers etcetera. Though I have always enjoyed looking at the sky full of birds but I distinctly remember a day, I sat looking up at the sky and admiring it in detail. I recall the first thought that stuck me was about how a gigantic machine like an airplane carrying hundreds of people flies so high in the air and that too at very high speed. This thought probably struck me because due to bad weather the flight of one of my relatives had been cancelled that day. Then I noticed the clouds, they appeared beautiful. A grey sky is generally considered as dull and gloomy but to me, it appeared beautiful. Beauty really lies in the eyes of the beholder. I kept looking up for as long as I could and observed a thin silver lining around clouds which looked like chunks of cotton placed on a grey canvas. This, I think is my most vivid memory about the admiration of the sky. 

Follow ups:

3. Do you think children should be told planet stories to improve their imagination? (I think planet stories cannot do much to enhance the imagination of children because my imagination is vivid and wide because of being an avid reader.) 

4. Would you like to watch movies on planets? (I do not mind watching movies related to planets but may not like such movies. If I am free and have nothing else to do, I will probably watch them.)
