Interstellar
The Geminid Meteor Shower is my favorite night out haunt & yet is such a big deal breaker...You know, it falls on our marriage anniversary. Being out the entire night, alone as you might have guessed it, is a big No-No, if I want to stay happily married & yet such are the magnetic powers of these interstellar meteors, that in spite of them falling on almost the same anniversary days, every year I keep a date with "The GMS," with many electoral promises given to my better half.
Geminid meteor shower is not just one shot but a wholesome experience. I reached around sundown & after a 40 minutes hike up the steep incline with my twenty-two kgs of equipment, pitched the tent on top of the Don Hill Station, which now is reckoned as the second highest hill of Gujarat. The shooting began at twilight & lasted till three in the morning. It was one real frigidly cold & windy night with the tent promising to blow away any time but it was one awesome experience. To creak your neck up & see these frequent streaks of magical light radiate from the Gemini constellation & dash all over the sky brought a childlike exuberance. Each shooting star as otherwise called in a layman's parlance, made me cross my fingers & make me wish that I'd not skip my anniversary next year to photograph this again! B|
Wishful thinking!
Happy Anniversary Neha! :)
