Sky

I was sitting on the terrace of my apartment watching the sun set behind the mountains... correction, buildings. The sky was looking fabulous with the festival of colours and the clouds with a golden lining added the extra effect. The birds were flying in there 'V' formation to avoid the resistance from air (but we wont go into the boring science today).

The sky was about to become dark and I saw the first object, I instantly recognized it was Venus (thanks to my friend who introduced me to night sky watching). The orange colour was was about to disappear so that the star party will take over from that.

However I remembered what my teachers thought me in my early days. "The colour of sky is due to the refraction and dispersion of light in the atmosphere" (not boring science again!). But seriously, if sky does not have its own colour or the very fact that is doesn't even exists in its material form then why do we quantify it?

Probably because we all see things in the way we like to see it. We set our goals to "reach for the sky" or "sky is the limit but..... lower".

What we fail to realize is that the main reason we "see sky" is because of air around us. In the same way many a times we fail to see who really is responsible for the good/ bad work and end up messing up with someone who is not related.

Now I gotta go home.
Why?
Didn't you read above lines?
It is dark already.
