I read about the Perseid meteor shower and thought, "ok, let's welcome Friday the 13th in ishtyle!" Even though the meteor shower was visible since early dawn today and even though I was woken up around 2.30 AM, the lazy me took over and convinced me that tomorrow is the bigger/better show! Right now the night sky is cloudy (punishment for my laziness!) Will the clouds clear by midnight? Will my internal alarm wake me up on time tomorrow morning too?
Every time I read about any celestial spectacles, I make big plans but then go back to complaining how it's either too bright/late or too cold for sky watching here!! Like the waves in the sea, the stars in the sky and gazing at the night sky is very soothing! Just reminds me of those childhood mottai maadi days! That also reminds me of those silly teenage years when spotting a shooting star and making a wish was such a big deal!
And talking of shooting stars will definitely bring up Tintin! Oh, I didn't know this was in the making!!

I don't how I missed commenting on this post...I heard about the meteor shower but forgot to see it...and I am waiting for Hobbes to grow up so that I can take him to camping and to do some star gazing...:)
me, adaane paarthen!! Engada aalaye kanamnu!! I've passed on my Entomophobia to my kids and they are even scared of fruitflies!! The one & only thing that might interest them in camping is roasting marshmallows!!
