An evening so magical and blissful.

It was an evening to remember. Walking down the banks of the Rabindar Sarobar lake with my friend on a warm April evening was truly an evening worth cherishing. Chatting and laughing, we walked down the tiled path that encircled the tranquil waters of the lake. The path was dimly lit and the gentle breeze that blew added to the romantic atmosphere that surrounded the entire place.

We strolled under the tall trees that swayed gently in the breeze. The entire place was thronging with people, some strolling like us and others just lazing on the grass close by. Yet others, with their beloved in their arms, sat and enjoyed a romantic moment uninterrupted and engrossed. The waters of the lake shimmered as a result of the light from the lampposts that lined the banks of the lake.

We walked for quite sometime, before finally sitting down on a bench to give rest to our weary legs. The bench, made of concrete, faced the lake and offered a grand view of the surrounding area. The two of us chatted for a long time, talking on different things like career, relationships, music and others. My friend also sang a couple of songs to make the moment more memorable.

We laughed and joked and pulled each others legs while the breeze kissed our oily face gently making us feel refreshed and rejuvenated. It was a heart warming moment we spent that day. The hours rolled by as we shared our secrets and experiences one by one. Not for one moment did each of us stop and wonder what the other would think about us. We just opened our hearts out. For the first time, I felt so free. It was like that of a bird who had just discovered its new found freedom.

Finally, it was time to part ways, or should I say it was time to get back home. I wanted to stay a little while longer, but call of duty made me think 'rationally' and change my decision. We headed back home, happy to have shared such an intimate moment with one another. We promised that we would come again one day and share our lives moments amidst the cool shade of the trees and in front of the serene lake.

It was truly an exhilarating and blissful evening that we spent together.
