A Day at the Waterfall

by Rajas Satija

I woke up all fresh excited for another day. The birds singing in the background and the leaves rustling in the thing air it seemed like the perfect day to go for a picnic to the springs. I stretched as I got up and felt myself instantly charge up. The amazing excitement ran through our house as we got read in a rush. Enthusiasm rushed through me as I sat in the car.

The hours drive passed in the blink of an eye as we unpacked our car in front of the springs. We had brought soccer balls and a cricket set to play on the grass next the spring that the crystal clear waterfall was gracefully pouring down. In our bathers we decided to have a small dip and go explore up the hill leading to the top of the waterfall.

"The best feeling of my life has arrived!" my mother warmly said as she dipped her feet in. The splendid beauty touched us gently and we embraced it. Going up the hill we could see the light reflecting off the falling water and creating a rainbow. This sight was spectacular as we slowly went up the hill further. I felt so uplifted as we reached the top of the waterfall. The view of the ocean and the city was in one which was the best sight I had ever seen. A grass patch at the top was the perfect place to play some soccer and, some cricket. The serene feeling of the breeze blowing into my nostrils and the marvellous scent of the flowers. It felt like I was in paradise And I felt like I was on the world's highest podium, above that waterfall, over the world.

Arriving home from what was arguably the best day in the world but I was exhausted. Hungry, I gobbled up my supper and passed out to sleep in a breeze. “What a day!” I thought to myself as my eyelids flickered and closed on the world, only ready to open after a refreshing sleep for the next day.
