Autumn is here and I love the cool November breeze. The leaves have started to change their colors. I study in one of the top engineering colleges in Dehradun and it is situated next to a forest. I often walk around the campus to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous forest.  The leaves have turned yellow and soon the forest will look fiery orange and gold.



When I have time, I go sit by the window in my hostel room which overlooks the forest.  That’s my favorite spot and that’s where I spend most of my time daydreaming about various interesting things.
The university has beautiful gardens where most students sit and chat but I enjoy sitting in my favorite spot and contemplating about life and all that it has to offer. It’s quite a delightful feeling and oh the luxury of being away from the bustling city streets and enjoying a mug of coffee is something that not everyone can afford.

There is a tiny lane that passes through the forest and leads to a small gypsy settlement. I often see men, women and children walking down the lane or gathering firewood. Going to different places and settling there for a brief period of time and then moving to a completely unknown place. It all sounds exciting and adventurous but they must go through a difficult time getting to different places and there’s always the fear of wild animals if you live in the forest. But hey, these people are quite tough and are used to a nomadic lifestyle.

Winter is just around the corner and the university and I will be on my semester break. I know it for a fact that I am going to miss sitting by the window, looking at the beautiful forest, and watching the sun shining through the trees, playing peek-a-boo with me.

But hey, I have 3 more years at the university and I hope I never get tired of watching the sunrise and the beautiful forest.
