Window Seats

Window seats are something that everyone is fond of.

What a peculiar topic, isn't it? Well, who talks about window seats anyway? But if you just think about it for a second, you will realize window seats are the most insignificant but beautiful thing around us.

I have always been amazed by this particular seat. Since my childhood, I have always wanted a window seat. When I was a kid, I used to think trees do actually move backward, which always fascinated me. And now, watching trees going back reflects all kinds of emotions that touch my heart.

There is indeed something magical about this place. You can see your past moving in front of your eyes like a motion picture. When I sit on the window seat on a bus or train, and when the journey begins, my mind always becomes nostalgic. I start pondering about various things like the meaning of life, relationships with special people, parents, friends, childhood memories, career planning, world peace, the chaos of the world, problems of humanity, the future of the human race, etc. It makes me calm and peaceful when the cold wind blows on my cheeks. My whole life seems like a lucid dream while listening to songs.

But why do we feel the way when we are on a window seat? Maybe perhaps....
  • There is a beautiful correlation between the trees going back and our past memories. The moving trees are a reflection of our bitter-sweet memories.
  • The joy of feeling a raindrop on the palm reflects the joy of beautiful moments of our life. All those best cherishable moments.
  • The breeze on the face reflects the calmness and happiness of our past achievements.
  • The colorful raindrops on the glass windows reflect all kinds of relationships.
  • The window seat reminds us that life is a journey, and we still have miles to go.

So have you ever wondered what exactly is about this window seat? Does this thought of window seats ever occur in your mind?
If not, then all you have to do is board a bus, take a ticket to anywhere, choose a window seat, and feel the magic!!

Dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi

A Poem by Gulzar Dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi, jis tarah shaakh se toray hue ek pattay ka rang mand par jata hai kuch roz alag shaakh se reh kar shaakh se toot kar yeh dard jeeye ga kab tak? khatam ho jayegi jab is ki rasad, tim-timayega zara der ko bujhtay-bujhtay, aur phir lambi si ek sans dhuan ki le kar khatam ho jayega, yeh dard bhi, bujh jayega. dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi...                                                                             - gulzar

Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Aasmaan!

I completed my three years in the USA. The previous three years of my precious late 20s and early 30s have been gone just like that. At times, I feel like I'm too hard on myself. I should be content with what I have accomplished, but there is always more to learn and always more to gain! I hate this feeling, to be honest. I hate being in the constant feeling of what could have been better! Don't you think we should just stop striving for more? Stop dreaming about earning more money; stop getting lured for promotions. But then what is there to live if there isn't more? This thought has been a constant conflict for me. To stop or not to stop, that is the question! When I was around 15, my mother used to say, "Tu jaldi bada ho gya" meaning, "I have grown up early." I was very mature for my age and started looking at life very differently than my peers. All I wanted was "Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Aasmaan," but nowadays, I find myself in the same rat ra...

Ordinary simple little things.

Don't you think that ordinary simple little things actually make up life? They have always been underrated, and people always take them for granted. We, humans, are complex creatures; we always have to make things complicated. But the truth is life lies in the little things that happen every day. Little things that always have mattered. Life is not about having a 9-5 job, buying a big car or a big house, earning lots of money, or getting famous. Life is all about little things. Like having someone by your side when you get home after that 9-5 job. Like when you finally learn how to make "Gol Chapattis." Like when you finally finish that book or fall asleep while reading. Like when you ask for extra pani puri. Like when you taste the first kerry of the season. Like when you get wet in the first rain without being concerned about your health. Like when you finish the game, you have been playing for so long. Like when you pass a smile to little babies, and they ...
