Arriving home one day late last year, I turned into the quiet lane to my apartment block, and realized that I live in a paradise of sorts.

From dull gray to bright blue
During the rainy season, the sky is mostly overcast.
However, with the onset of the dry season, the days become clearer and brighter, and our surroundings became much more beautiful. The sun shines brightly and the sky turns blue. The clouds linger peacefully overhead, or float by leisurely, without pouring their contents out on us.
Welcome home … to a picture-perfect home
While walking along the main road on that day, I closed myself off from all the chaos of the city – as usual. I shut out the traffic noise. I ignored the overhead wires and the crowded buildings.
But as I turned onto my lane, I happened to look up. I saw the lush vegetation surrounding my building, and the billowing white clouds set against the brilliant blue sky. I was “where I want to be … home.” *
