The Perfect Window

I look at the world through a window! A window which has no bounds; which is much bigger than the biggest in the world; a window through which I jump from one world to another; one which gives me the insight into my own thinking and connects with that of others; one through which I jump and travel through space by the sheer power of my imagination; a window which connects me to me.

The window is beyond a particular time, place or generation. It offers magnificent view of life in all its hues; generation after generation people playing their roles to perfection; passing the baton and yet remaining in touch; keeping their mark intact; beseeching the younger ones to take note and create new mark.

The window carried me through my early life in my village ‘SAKURRU” in East Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh. At a time when most children of my age were content to play around and make merry, providence willed that I look at the world from a different mold. Though I never knew the world beyond the next town, something opened up imaginary vistas for me and that was the time when my window was born. The window became my escape beyond the boundaries of circumstances; when I fell down in the middle of a stream and looked heavenwards; when things which I wished  to possess went out of my reach; when I reenergized myself and said “ I will live a  life full of life”.

“Life full of Life” The window kept up its promise. It led me through new places, circumstances, people and fortunes as easily as a river flows into the ocean; as smoothly as a bird glides on the air pockets; as truly as a child trusts its parents. Day after day, from the balcony of my modest dwelling, it continues to offer me a view into the world and the world beyond. It gives me an opportunity to see all creatures of this world even when I close my eyes.

The window is not external! It is within me.  It is my life’s compass. It has provided an excellent view and taught me where to focus. It has guided my life for the last six decades and is keen to go on as long as the providence wills.
