Morning walks are good things, for a lot of conventional and unconventional reasons. If we leave alone the health and fitness they definitely make interesting times just for the different kind of people one can watch. It is not that people watching can be possible only at morning walks but that in a "normal" day one never has time to wait leave alone, wait and watch or wait and ponder. Morning walks give time for just that. For an imaginative mind they offer a lot of stories on platter.
Those two men aged around 40 who walk together with their badminton rackets, probably they are friends, probably brothers or probably neighbors or probably they met some time back in the same park and got to know each other. Probably it is a ritual they have been indulging in since decades. Probably they had a pact when they started working that irrespective of what the morning time would be for themselves, just themselves. Or probably they feel they need to lose some weight and thought this was the best way which would be easy on them and at the same time would give them the satisfaction of a workout.
The couple who make it a point to take out their foot wear go around the temple, make their requests to god every morning. Probably their kids live in different cities and they have decided to have a peaceful life. Probably it is not the morning walk which holds the charm but the visit to the temple. Probably they pray that their son's business problems get solved or that the daughter should come back to live with them or probably for the health of some dear one who is unwell or probably it is just a habit.
The old man who walks around feeding the dogs. The sight of him is a spectacle with tens of dogs following him wagging their tails. Probably he always wanted to serve the animal kind and never got a chance, probably this is the activity in which he finds purpose, probably it reminds him of his dog which was very dear to him, probably he is disgusted with the crookedness of human kind and finds solace in the animal kind, probably he can talk to the dogs.
The trainer who helps his clients workout, probably when he was young he had big dreams and his luck didn't favor him, probably he is a lawyer who hated his profession and has taken this up as an alternative, probably he hates being a trainer but he doesn't really have an option, probably in his mind he thinks he is stuck with fools, probably he is secretly in love with the guy he is training, probably it is not his client but his spouse.
The Labrador which had come for a walk with the policemen, probably it is proud of itself when it sees people are vary of the policemen, probably he hates it to be with them and would have loved to be a pet of some naughty kid or probably envies the street dogs or probably thanks its stars that it has a good life and doesn't have to hunt for food.
Oh a million possibilities, each so unique....interesting times for sure!
