Fireflies…

Today, I went to Golpark to get some of my photos printed - and while returning I decided to walk home. Instead of taking the normal route via Southern Avenue , I took the one that went along the banks of the Rabindra Sarobar Lake. It was around seven in the evening, and enticed by the cool breeze, I decided to sit for sometime on one of the benches beside the lake. While I was sitting, and watching the couples go by ;-), suddenly, there was a power cut and the whole area plunged into total darkness. The only sources of light within visible range were a large number of fireflies, flying around, making random patterns in the air. It was almost a magical atmosphere - I could barely see the silvery rippling water of the lake, and along with that were the golden fireflies, all around me. This continued for almost a quarter of an hour, and then, finally, the streetlights came alive once again, putting an end to what is perhaps the greatest light show I have ever witnessed.
