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

Change

Lately, I have been thinking about “Change” as it’s appearing that a lot of things around me is changing. So Is change good or it’s highly unfortunate that it’s happening. The question is divine. But here’s the thing “Change Is Inevitable”, it has to happen. What most people fail to realize, typically until it’s very late in the game, is that change happens to us whether we like it or not, remember its Inevitable. Change is not that bad actually for examples I made a short list of the things that change over time and we really need these changes : 1. Weather 2.  Fashion 3. A n era  4.  Perspective 5.  Habits 1. Weather What if the weather  doesn't  change, it remains constant. Imagine it’s raining throughout the year, God, what a dreadful idea or consider you’re perspiring for like full 365 days a year ,  and now people start greetings each other like Hey Sweaty What’s up. So it's good that  weather  changes. ...

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...
