Window,
how mesmerizing and breezy it used to be! I believe windows are an essential
factor of a house. It’s a crucial player in bringing the ventilation inside our
home, to make breathe easy and versatile sight to cheers. I couldn't think
living in a house without windows and I strongly believe life begins only
outside the windows. I think not many could understand the wealth of windows like the author of My White Window and me – who spent days almost inside the
house. Window means a lot to me.

The
windows are not meant the only ones at our homes. Every building installed
windows in various shapes and frame work but the view we get were almost
enchanting. I realize the worth of windows and I really want to mention
something that made me felt the pulse of windows. During my course of war over lungs
infection in early 2010, I was supposed to visit a lung specialist frequently
related to my treatment and his clinic was on the 2nd floor of a building that
we reach by a lift. He was a mid-aged doctor and kind being towards not only
patient but everyone; and he treats with due care and concern which I haven't
seen with any other doctors. Though every doctor treats patients to be cured, I
saw something special in his way of approach and patience but not a bit of
laziness or wearisome.
The
doctor room was well equipped including desktop computer and split A/C to check
patients at his own comfort level; but he chose the nature way of ventilation
though wide open windows. Being a lung specialist, no one could understand the
importance of breathing and which is healthy inhaling unlike him who prefer to
open air windows rather switched on to A/C.
Through the entire visits to his clinic I saw him leaving the windows
open, perhaps being on 2nd floor he might doing so I thought, but he follows
the same at his resident come clinic at ground level. He also advised me to
stay where I could get good ventilation. And if not the windows what can
provide us such relief; and I’m also a kind, unroll the glasses whenever
possible or elsewhere no pollution or heat occupy the space while on travel in
car.
I
know cities aren't a safe zone to seek fresh air, but we aren't lost with
oxygen is a consoling fact.
Through
window I see a world right opposite to my life inside the home. I don't envy at
birds flying in the sky and butterflies fluttering in stunning coated wings,
but I enjoy bearing fresh breeze on my face, the fragrance of flowering and
chirrup of birds and crunching leaves. Well I can't explain much how
heartwarming and pleasure looking through windows, a zone not so comfort like
being at home. But I still and ever want to go outside exploring the glimpses I
catch via windows.
There
are two windows that connect me outside home: other than the one which inspires
me often through the sights, sound and sense of breeze that caught behind the
window bars, the Microsoft windows of my PC helps communicate the message I got
through motion scenes and emotional core. Both these windows lead me to a world
of wisdom. I cherish and console me through various grief and emotions that I
experience in everyday dilute of life.
Footnote:
Other
day while chatting, the sweet Preeti asked me to write a guest post on her
blog. But for some unknown reason she’s could post it, so I make it way through
my blog. I know Preetilata for long time through blog and she writes from deep
heart and sometime lighter moments as cheerful. She’s one of a sweetest girl I
ever know on earth and her blog (My White Window), is a best outlook for any
writer and inspiration to come up with a post on windows. As
she began a happy married life, I wish her all the best.
