MEETING A FELLOW RESIDENT🦌.
A walk through nature is something I like a lot, it's like a "therapy" to our mind. It can refresh us mentally and physically. In one of our General essay hour, Rufus sir, as a part of Bioregional studies, asked us to go for bird watching, and also asked us to make note of the small insects, butterflies and other animals residing inside the campus. As a group of six, me and my friends went in search of birds, animals and insects. Different from the usual way of walking---by looking straight on the road---we started by looking upward towards the trees, buildings and sky in search of birds. We were able to hear the sound of the birds but was not able to spot them. Then as we were walking on the roads near the Zoology department, I spotted a deer lying down there near the Zoology block. I was very excited. It looked like it was very tired, so I thought of helping it by giving some grass. Then I went towards it with some leaves in my hand to feed it but just stayed for a minute, because I was afraid that will it kick me from there. Then I asked my friend if it was safe and I can go feed it. Then he said of course I can go and it won't do any harm, which gave me some courage and I walked to the deer with the leaves . I tried to give the leaves to it but unfortunately it didn't eat it. Then I took it near its mouth but it simply ignored it. So I thought that maybe it was resting with a stomach full of food or it ignored the leaves because it could be the kind of leaves it does not like. I felt a little sad but also felt some joy, as at least, I was able to go near the deer and offer it some food. Many times I had wished to go near the deer like this whenever I see students sharing pictures and videos of them feeding it. This time, even though I was not able to feed, I was able to go near it. It was such a beautiful experience for me. I felt like I found some solace in the shades and sounds of nature.
