Window Seat
“The Window Seat” is one of the
very few things that the human race hasn’t lost its interest over many decades.
Be it a bus, a train or a plane, the window seat has its own privilege. Irrespective of the travel duration, our
first preference is always given to this seat. Affected are those, who deny sitting on the
window seat.
Keeping aside the “Where” about
the seat and focusing on “What” the seat is, tells us many casual realities
which we fail to observe, unfortunately. If one thinks it is all about the
light and wind that makes this seat special, then there are lots missed by that
narrow mind.

With a minimal fare, the window seat
offers a surrealistic interaction to the world around you. Some of the few things
that are buried deep into your thoughts might be the chunks of sights you had
through the window. It is only the objects that pass by and not the impressions
it leaves you with.
The window seat has never ceased
to provide what your soul wanted then. It gives the words you lack to complete
your poem, thoughts that constantly fuels you. Being facilitated in our comfort
zone, the window seat reveals the harsh truth that happens around us.
Deeper
the obsession over the seat, stronger it sows the seeds of necessary change in
you.
It constantly reminds you that
the destination is one step closer every time you peep through the window. It
gives you an easy access wrapped with the honor of feeling: the rain, smell of
the sand that follows, strand of her hair in the front seat that flows behind
and the voice of nature.
It has been a small screen in
motion, to stage your thoughts. Conquering this seat has always been the major
goal among the kids. The pride they hold as the conqueror doesn’t wear out throughout
the journey.
Wouldn’t life be so interesting
when people see and feel each other as “The Window Seat”?
