It was ten minutes past four in the afternoon. Fluffy clouds were lazily drifting in the blue sky above. Like every day, I set out for private tutoring with the book bag slung over my shoulder. As I turned into the alley, the familiar scene around me felt a bit different today.
Beside the tall concrete building on the right, the tin-roofed houses and fences created an odd tale in the sunlight. From the roof of a house on the left, a papaya tree peeked out, its green leaves harmonizing well with the blue of the sky. The electric wires stretching like spider webs overhead seemed to be the life lines of this bustling city.
As I ventured a little deeper into the alley, I spotted the familiar rickshaw. The rickshaw puller was waiting for someone with the hood down. A couple of pedestrians were walking by. Amidst this commotion, there was a strange sense of silence and tranquility.
Suddenly, it struck me that I walk this path every day, but I never notice how beautiful this surroundings are! I took my phone out of my pocket and quickly snapped a photo. An ordinary afternoon's extraordinary moments were captured in the frame of the picture. After taking the photo, I smiled softly and set off again towards the student's house because life’s busyness never stops!
