Dawn

Generally, a day is classified in 4 periods - morning, afternoon, evening and night. (Chaar prahar in Hindi as they are called)  If you go further, there are even 4 more such transitions between the ones mentioned above-dawn is one of them.

Dawn is a very interesting period with varied hues. The change from the darkest shades of the passing night to the rising reds of an approaching morning,it paints all of them on the canvas of the sky! Won't be wrong to visualize the dawn as the one who carries night with itself to let it greet hello to the morning! Yet, after all the beauty and the significance it probably remains the most underrated time period of the day. Why? Pick any poet, writer or philosopher - they all have either immortalized the morning or the night with their pieces. But dawn , oh well...

One of the best part of the dawn is to explore its serenity and embark on its journey from a deep, dark start-  probably because when the world is asleep to the oblivion of our secrets we feel free enough to explore our inner self in perfect solitude. A new sort of freedom and peace envelopes this moment- just ourselves only; no prying eyes , no compulsions or simply no holds barred! We're filling our own glasses of introspection. The time of the day when one is tuned to only their heartbeats- with the throbbing pulses setting the rhythm. Now the million thoughts will start to coalesce , finding a coherence steadily. A crescendo starts to build up and with the final beat, voila! Either there is a new realization or there is clarity over an old riddle's solution ; whichever way it is ,the ultimate destination is the same- peace or clarity.  When one is able to feel it ,there's a new found power - a brimming confidence about the ability to travel through one's own mirage! This very confidence is what's needed to keep afloat throughout the day and days build up the bigger frame of life. 

To see the bigger frame of life, dawn is like the final transition. When life approaches the crossroads, its just like before the first step on the chosen path- one steps in and a new phase of life begins rightaway! This transition is costly- one tends to leave many things behind to metamorphosize for the new. But then, what comes for free, ain't it? If it seems you're travelling through the darkest phases of life, then yes your dawn is here! Some more time and there, the golden rays are ready to touch you! 

So,spend some time with the dawn, the sunrise following it will be even more priceless!
