Discoveries

I was standing in my small and narrow balcony right now. We finished our iftar and it is now past 7 and half. As I was saying my sister dragged me to show me the moon. So we decided to stand in that tiny balcony. We do that only at night or otherwise we would visible like two shinning gold coins in the daylight. I found out two things:

• I was cussing that Burj Khalifah isn't the world's tallest tower (now Prince Waleed decided to build a taller one in Jeddah. Good luck for that) because we could not see it AT all where we live. Today I discovered we can! But you need to stand in the balcony and extend your head and there stands the majestic tower. So sorry Burj you are the tallest (for now).
• I decided to clap for my discovery and I hear a distant dull sound. It was my clap echoing. Cool! Apparently the winds carry my clap sounds i.e. sound waves all the way to the opposite building and falls on the windows and rebounds back and there you hear it. I was wondering whether the inhabitants could hear it in their homes because it sounded like an awful lot of banging against their windows.

I now plan to carry on this legacy and do it every night. I made my mum do it too. She seemed so happy. Its a wonder that small things can impact our thoughts and out smiles on our face. They will never know what hit them.
