First Post.

Hi there! I'm a 17 year old from Bangalore. My 12th boards start in 32 days but here I am starting a blog. Yeah, inspiration does know how to crash in at the wrong time. xD I'd been planning on starting a blog for a long time but laziness and procrastination, my two companions thought otherwise. Anyways, I made up my mind today and here I am. I'm interested in writing and photography so many of my posts will be regarding that. For a starter I'm going to be posting a write up. I told my friend to pick out a random word : Bench. We were in the class, sitting on a bench. I guess my friend was bored and just blurted out the word thinking I wasn't serious about it. xD I've taken up writing after a very long time so I'm a little apprehensive. Any kind of suggestions and criticism is always welcome. :)  Here it goes:
Twilight, the magic hour was just looming over the corner as Jack sat on the bench waiting for Mia. Waiting for her answer. He looked at his watch for the umpteenth time past the half hour.The minute hand had laboriously moved one number higher since the last time he'd glanced at it.Time travels in diverse paces with diverse people. As he chuckled at that quote he could sense her. He could see her walking towards him, smell the pleasant perfume and feel the air slapping his face gently but he couldn't hear her footsteps or her surprised giggle at the sight of a butterfly. He sighed at the imperfections of the world as she gracefully sat next to him. She smiled warmly and gave him a tentative hug. She could feel his over heated palm under hers', hear the constant tapping of his foot and see the expectant look on his face. Oh how she wished she could just say Chill Jack! Sighing she took  out her Notepad and and wrote a bigYES:). She could hear him laugh with joy as he saw her beautiful grin. Getting up in a gentleman like fashion he held out his hand to her. She happily placed her hand in his and they walked hand in hand towards the lake.
            The sky looked magical with the myriad shades of orange that got reflected by the lake which gave away a picturesque view. Sia did not miss the chance to take a photo of the view. Looking around she found the perfect bench and walked towards it. She noticed a paper with a YES :) on the bench. For an unknown reason she felt like that the note belonged there. Smiling she took a photo of the note with the bench in background. I ought to give it a cheesy caption,she chuckled. She loved photo-walks. They gave her an insight into the raw reality and the beauty of nature and life. Setting up her paraphernalia she waited for the right moment when the orange hue of the twilight just melted away with darkness of the night and clicked the perfect picture. She smiled at her days' work and started walking towards the exit. Little did she know at that point of time that her picture would gain her her dream job.
             The park was to close in  20 minutes and Sam chose to sit down on the bench for a while after his jogging routine. The chill air was welcoming to his hyperactive body and the turn of events in his life. An hour ago he was told he would be dad in 9 months. He would hold a baby and be responsible for it, for her in 9 months.To a 22 year old just married man this was a huge thing to wrap his head around. He had taken the time to deliberate this. As he was glancing at his surroundings he spotted her walking towards him. All his deliberations and apprehensions vanished. He just knew what to do. He smiled at her warmly as she sat down on the bench. She smiled nervously and asked him: "Are you okay?" Just as he was about to answer her he spotted the paper YES :) written on it. He showed it to her and kissed her. She snuggled in to his embrace and they sat there for the rest of the time in peace as the last of the orange hue succumbed to the tranquil night darkness. As the two of them got up Sam picked up the piece of paper and tucked it into his pocket.
               If that bench were a person they would be overwhelmed right now with all events that took place in the twilight. Indeed its a called the magical hour for a reason.
You can leave your suggestions and criticism below. I would love to know your views about it. I guess that's it for now. Until next time. Bye. :)
PS I love twilight ( I meant part of the day and not the book series XD)
