Weird but strange ideas come into my mind when I am alone. Such an idea came on the first day of my visit in California, it is to roam around the lonely streets with my naked eyes. So, I wore my shoes and took my bag with a camera inside and descended into the road in my favorite jeans.
As soon as I stepped into the road from my hotel alleys, I found myself the only pedestrian. Sometime, the known facts when faced in reality turns out to be an wondering one, it was one of those rarest feelings I had. Slowly I moved across the street and kept walking.
Walking down the road, several things i noticed, first of which is the cleanliness of the roads, and more precisely everywhere. There were dozens of BMWs roaring in speed and found few Ferraris as well and not to mention the bikes I believed existed only in national geographic channel.
After a long walk, I found a beautiful park on the other side of the road. It was little crowded with people of varying ages. I took a stroll inside the park and felt a cold breeze in the air with a smell of ultimate leisure. It was so full of greens and quietness, yet filled with human activities. Few guys playing volleyball in the corner, a little babe playing with her mom, a couple of aged persons taking an afternoon walk, everything was happening yet so quietly.
On the way towards the exit of the park, I noticed an interesting thing. A young kid was being trained soccer. The trainer took an interesting learning lesson of the kid, he was only letting the kid to kick the ball after the kid completes doing a certain warmup exercise once and it goes in cycle. The kid was always excited to the exercise as it lets him kick the ball at the end, while in turn trainer made sure the kid increases his stamina by following the exercise multiple times. The lesson seemed extremely practical to me as in real life also you get a chance to make your kick only after you prove yourself through struggles that is always not so interesting to have, but those struggles let you learn the fundamental part of the entire game.
