@private beach at the Sea Shells resort – Havelock.

The sea was calm – I mean really really calm. Not a wave; not a ripple. It was as if I was staring a pond rather than sitting at the sea shore — It was so calm and quiet. I wish my mind was that calm. The flood of thoughts.. all random, was crazy. But the sea…. it was calm.

With all my starting, the sea responded…. there were a few ripples. I looked straight ahead and saw nothing but a couple of mangrove trees. Thought I would see a dingy pass by in a bit which was probably what caused the ripples, or a crab or fish swimming, but there was none. I stared endlessly at the beauty lying ahead and enjoying every second.

The ripples appeared again!! This time, I stared at the sea, just around the shore….. that’s when I realized what was happening…. The tide was sneaking out!! It was time for high tide I have been to many places, a lot of sea shores, lived on an island for 4 years (was in Fiji) but have never ever see the sea so sneaky.

In Mumbai, high tides mean a few waves bringing the sea out — never have I seen it sneak out like this…. Wow… this was a pleasant experience.
