June View from my Window!
June View from my Window!
It is such a delight and a
pleasing sight to see a mango tree from your window! It seems that this loaded
tree is just for me, away from the sight of Tom, Dick, and Harry. During summers,
this has been the most pleasant sight to watch out for!
The tree was always there but
when it bore fruit this season, it struck a special chord with me.
I started to connect to this
tree this season, the 18th season of my life as there was no rushed
routine in these months. I was attracted by the hanging mangoes initially, the gleaming
green color, the appealing shape, slowly thoughts went towards the fashionable
paisley patterns of India and gradually I went deep within. Was this the soul
for Buddha, a tree?
However, for ordinary rif
rafs like me, chirping of the birds added to my soulful moments. I thought I am
heading towards nirvana too and suddenly the gunshots boreholes in me. The langurs had attacked
the mangoes and the owner, my neighbor was shooting from the air gun in the sky
to scare them away.
Now I know why white hair is
one of the qualifiers for deep down within. What can this 18th
seasoned guy achieves, just a mango plucked from that tree.
Spot the birds, if you can! If you can’t, enjoy
their sound
So yes, this is a piece from
me, and I hope it was exciting! Please share your interesting and fun-loving
views and memories of these times!!!
