Fun times with my dad - part 2

I love the early morning walks we go for.. well, it doesn really happen often these days but when it does, its real nice. We go to this place called Theosophical Society, which is kinda like a private place for walkers.. Its an amazing route with a varied species of trees from various places and the walk leads you to that part of the beach which is serene and beautiful where you can see the estuary of the adyar river.. well, its quite a site from the distance atleast :) it also has a bridge which we often refer to as "the broken bridge" cos it broke during a rainstorm when it got hit by a lightning long back and hasnt really been fixed since then.. well it definitely serves as a wonderful place to sit and jus watch the sunrise at the estuary with a lovely seebreeze lifting ur hair off ur shoulders..
My dad tells me about the different kinds of birds he identified or his friend showed him.. He talks about the new species of plants they bring in to the nursery there and especially about the teak trees over there with pride!

and sometimes he even encourages me to do some kutti kutti things which are not really "right".. :) well they don really have bad consequences or anything but still.. We'd tresspass into the nursery and he showed me a plant called lemon-grass, which when u crush smells exxactly like 7-up or sprite.. and once he showed me turtles in a well inside..

There is a stretch where we usually jog and i'm not comfortable talking as i'm jogging cos i start panting and i get irritated when ppl talk as they jog cos i don understand wat they're saying and i definitely don want them to repeat it but my dad jus keeps talking as he's panting.. he never stops even when i tell him its irritating.. and this sem-hols also when we jogged he was talking but this time i jus smiled to myself.. he's not changed :) and it kinda jus reminded me of the previous incidents which frankly seemed quite funny now..

Its here where we've had a lot of our serious convo's.. about society, plants, wildlife crisis, govts, people, inflation and loads of other stuff.. And he loves to talk about small small things that fascinate him maybe a flower which he spotted which looks really different or the annie besant memorial he found or the tamarind fruit or neem fruit which we eat on our way.. Once he read about mangroves on metroplus and he was very excited when he remembered that he's seen it in TS..
And when we reach the beach we have our back-bend competition.. well thats probably the only thing i learnt from the gym classes which were held in school.. haha.. thats always fun cos u'll jus understand him jus from that.. He's an impatient man who wants the end result but will put the effort only if he really wants to.. u can see it from the way he hurriedly bends backwards and ends up coming back to standing as fast as he went half-way down or sometimes falls..

He's a really amazing person who enjoys every bit of watevr he does and does only stuff he enjoys.. and he inspires me for that and definitely more.. :)
