I have been seeing these seven stars everyday oh sorry every night every year for these three-four months. I see these cluster of seven stars for four months from November to December and its breathtaking. I don't really know they are which part of constellation but definitely its not Saptarshi.
Because of the habit of seeing them every year I have managed to get the almost precise time I can see them up in the sky from my balcony. I start this affair of seeing them in November at 8:30, In December it gets 10:30, and before January comes its already midnight. In those cold nights with icey midnight winds of January, I take my double blanket and stand in the balcony just to see them. The night looks like a rich pitch black cloth with shining gems on it and these seven gems particularly shine more. There is nothing special in them but still something special, special to me. So I guess they seem more bright to me then others. I don't really know why are they special to me but I don't fail to see up in the sky every night looking out for them.
It has been my routine every year. As the November gets near its like my small voice or say my inner voice sends a reminder of this event coming. I wish I could put an image of those seven stars formation. But I sadly don't own the Hubble space telescope.
I talk to those stars sometimes if I have not got enough people to hear me that day. Those stars don't stop if I go on speaking, they don't question me they just listen. Its a very good option for people like me who can talk all day.
* I have tried here to give the impression of the positioning of stars. I know this will have no effect but I think I want to give one *

A rectangle and three stars in it. In the sky it looks mesmerizing
Well there is no particular reason for writing about these stars for you people. But thinking for topics I felt I can write on this. We all have things that makes us happy, changes are mood, soothes us, everything on your mind is diverted and you only feel happy with only having them in front of your eyes. For some its some special people and for some there are varying things. For me these stars are one those things. Thats why I don't mind standing in icey winds this January. Just find those things again so you also feel the happiness. If you already have those things have it around you more so that you smile all the time because we all know smiles are infectious.
Good personification here, you came up with something new and different :)
ReplyDeleteAnd also, for your information, the constellation of stars that you pictured, is known as 'Orion (The Hunter)', which is one of the most commonly observed group of stars by naked eye. (Standard 7) :P
Anyway, (y)
Thanks a lot Sid. And Yeah I do remember now that I did learn this but I was not that attentive in 7th standard! ;)
DeleteWhen they shine on you, stare back at them. This is how you know who is yours.
