Tonight the heavens smiled at us!!

I received an sms at 7 p.m. today telling me to look for the moon in the sky as it resembled a smiling face with two strategically placed stars. Imagine my disbelief when I read and re-read the sms - as if this was possible!! After about 15 minutes I received a similar sms and now my curiosity was aroused and I went up to my office building's terrace to see what I could see of the heavens above.

And there before my eyes was the moon - a bright crescent against a dark, slightly cloudy sky with two stars placed above it and believe you me - I saw a face smiling down at me!! With my face upturned towards the skies my face split into a big grin that had been a stranger to my face for the past 4 days due to the recent Mumbai terrorist attacks! I couldn't take my eyes of this beautiful message from the heavens - Smile Mumbai Smile! After tearing my eyes away for a brief minute I looked back at the "smiling face" through my mobile phone's camera and tried to take a picture of the "Smiley" in the sky! Though not too clear it does show the "Smiley in the Sky"!


I shall surely remember this evening as the day when the heavens sent us a "Sky Smiley" to us and gave us that little something to smile about at the end of a terrifying ordeal.
