Last night I saw a Shooting Star :)

Wow! What a sight it was....

Had my dinner last night and was standing in the adjacent terrace. The sky was particularly clear last night. Could see lot of celestial formations (read stars), but could not identify a single one :P .

And then I saw it... A bright blob, like a diamond in the rock, moved fast from above towards the horizon. The movement was so fast it must have lasted for less than a second. I noticed that the blob, initially bigger in size, was getting smaller until it finally vanished to thin air (air in space, huh??)

It was a genuine WOW moment. I saw a shooting star.. first time ever!! I felt instant joy in my heart. And ya, I made my magic 'wish' too.

Now that I think of it.. was it a sign... I would like to believe it was. Well I can sing the popular Ace of Base song ...
'I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes'
'I saw the sign'

Adios, lookout for your shooting star mates !
