The Oasis

There is a beautiful lake beside my work place. It is serene, invites birds, fish. You can find ducks paddling in water. In the midst of so much concrete,with tall buildings mushrroming everywhere on the lane, vehicles zooming up and down, this lake appears to be literally like an oasis, ripples forming concentric circles, the breeze gently quenching its thirst on its way. And from my window, it is always a refreshing sight.
It's a pity that people hardly take time to notice this beauty on their hurried sprint either to work or on their way back home.
It's beautiful to take a stroll on the sidewalk adjacent to the lake, forgetting the mundane life, watching the water forming patterns and inhaling the beauty of the stillness surrounding the lake.
