World outside the window


 

Sitting near the window of my hotel room, I could see the full moon shining bright in the cold mountain night. Must be around 10 or 11 degrees. I could feel the light breeze on my face. Just looking outside the window, it was beautiful, even in the night. 

A silent full moon night high up in mountains could be so beautiful and soothing. I felt like my mind was empty of all thoughts. Like naturally meditating with eyes wide open and looking out into silhouette of huge mountains, like staring into wast spread of nothingness. 

I could see tiny lights twinkling on small buildings spread across the small town near Shimla, India. Sometimes when i came to senses, a sudden flood of thoughts streaming through the brain. How much we(humans) have progressed. How much nature had paid for our actions. Constantly digging the heart of mountain to make clearings for agriculture and buildings. Yet, nature is forgiving and let us be in peace. 

Peace, which is perhaps pet word of my best friend. He is a mountain lover, contrary I am a beach guy. Doesn't mean i don't like mountains but beaches and calming sound of waves gives me more peace. Midnight, He is fast asleep and i am still sitting on window, sipping last cup of my beverage, before I could sleep. 

A difficult to describe feeling so peaceful. Meditative yet thoughtful, Majestic yet conquerable. Feels like we don't want to go back home. Isn't it home to many people?, can't we also stay here forever ?  Useless thoughts, which perhaps are not practical. It steals the heart, when we go back a part of us will stay back. It'll keep sending us memories of that beautiful view just outside the window. To never forget, to call us back someday.

Death is NOT the END

It wasn’t a fine day; in fact I think no day could be fine without her in my life. I was missing her so much. Since we separated, my life was nearly finished. I had no will left to live. Everything seemed so tough and harsh. All I was left with, was a broken heart full of hatred . I hated almost everything which seemed so beautiful when we were together. I was thinking about her as usual. Its been two full months since we stopped talking. I was dying to hear her voice to see her name on screen of my cell-phone. But it was   nothing but a waste. “How could you not stop thinking about her?” I said to myself. Because I was all alone without her, only she could understand me, only she knows me well. But now what? I was talking to myself in loneliness. Even this was not very usual. I used to keep away from everyone. I didn’t like to talk or laugh anymore. It all reminds me of time which I spent with her. “She wants you to be happy. Can’t you give yourself a break.”...
