A Morning Scene from the eyes of a Jogger!

Hi Friends,
Do you like the beautiful mornings?
Well, if yes, you may have your own reasons for it, and even if not, lets try to look at some of the instances which you would have not seen and could get a little bit of likability towards it.

Its all so beautiful in the morning! It starts with the Fajr - the morning prayer - of the Muslims, The chirping of the birds, and the sounds of paperwala and milkman at your door.
Looking thru a joggers eye, the first thing that you see when you move out there on the road, are the walkers/joggers/runners/cyclists; the ones very much like you. Some are invincible runners, while others are lackadaisical walkers.  Some you see blossoming and smiling at you daily, few in a bad mood due to something, few still sleepy and some compelled to go out there by either their parents or their doctors too arrogant to even look at you. Many prefer the road while others prefer going to a garden for a healthy and clean workout. On open grounds as well as gardens, you might see a group of people enjoying in laughing clubs. Few, enjoying a cutting chay, from the tea stall just opened with a couple of Parle G biscuits! [Updated 25th Sept 2012, after an idea suggested by my friend Devashri] Some enjoying their morning snacks, Pauva with tari & Sev Usal nearby. [/Updated]  A couple of people got to jog so that their dog get some exercise.
You see the cute little Kidos going to school, waiting for their Auto, or a Van or a school bus playing hide and seek, thumb fight, scott, etc till their pick-up vehicle arrives. Their parents get them ready faster and their stops early, not only so that they don't miss their ride, but also so that they can chit-chat with their friends(other parents) gathered there. You also see the college dudes and dudetteses out there either standing at the bus stops listening to their Ipods, or smsing or riding roughly on their vehicles to impress some around, with ear plugs and bandit queens even with a dark black goggles. A very popular scene is, when a person calls someone in the bus while running, "Dude, stop the bus, I almost reached!" (Ubhi rakh la, bas pohchi gayo!)
There are the road side vendors, the fruit-sellers, who either spent their night at the same place wake up and getting ready for starting their business while there are some hawkers who come from long distances, getting up very early buying the vegetables for their daily business.
There are some who move in their jeeps with loads of grains for the birds to be sprinkled in the small garden area developed near major cross roads, while bread and rotis for dogs, cows and other stray animals. Few people get some packets of biscuits for the stray dogs and feel happy seeing the dog wagging its tail while some beat them with stones out of either fear or hatred.
Next, there are the masons that move along with their family, to the construction site where they are currently working. You definitely see atleast 1 out of 5 persons sharing a bhakhri (bread) out there to some stray animal, either a cow, dog, buffalo, donkey; any one. He  himself has so small a tiffin, that he can hardly satisfy his hunger. Yet, he shares it. Sometimes, it actually feels who is rich? The one who has a lot of money or the one who has a big heart?
Don't know why, but it is a very happy feeling going out for a walk, watching all this! Do you go out in the morning and watch anything of this or anything more? If yes, please put it down in the comments section. And all those readers, who don't like to get up early, do you feel like at least giving it a try atleast once after reading this? And what about those who go out forcibly for the workout, would you like to go and feel such a beautiful scene rather than just being there?

Happy Morning Buddies!
