Playing With Brain's Perception-Virtual Snow Ride

There was time when electronic entertainment in the form of mobile and internet was altogether missing. Watching TV was not possing during heavy snow days because of disruption of electeic lines. Playing with friends in snow was the only option of entertainment. However i used to add twist to my entertainment often being creative. 
One beautiful day i was sitting on my veranda looking at the falling snow. It really gives a delight to eyes looking at the falling snow. Following the flakes of snow at distance  with ones eyes gives an unmatchable joy. Being warm with wooly clothing adds flavor to it.I used to follow relatively bigger flake until it touched the ground.
At one time i stopped following the snow flakes for no reason even though  i was looking at snow. In the mean time i experiened a virtual ride. I was shocked. I thought it was like a dream. However i felt it again while gazing at the falling snow. Soon i realized it. I was actuallt enjoying the virtual ride on snow by focusing on the static object far away without the blink of eye provided the medium between was the falling snow...
As a kid it was indeed a great discovery. I started telling my friends the trick for the ride.
After more than a decade i experiened the same ride again. I sarted to think how it actually happens. I came to the conclusion that we can even play with the perception of our brain. The uplifting ride simply
matches the speed of snow
downfall so that the net speed turns out to be zero...that is relativity. With repect to the focussing object we are at rest. However continuous fall of snow gives us the feeling we are in motion till our eyes blink. Obce we blink our mibd thinks we r at rest. This ends our ride.
Even though the ride only lasts for a minute or so but the feel is  great who else has tried this? If not, try it now and share your experience:-)
