A window to the world outside.....

What I need is a window. A window to the outside world, which I can always keep open day in, day out. I miss window so much. Seriously. I have always had my bed next to window all these years. I love sleeping with windows open looking at sky, stars, feeling the cool breeze, and of course, looking at my moon ;). How I loved those sights at night. I hardly keep the windows open here. Reason? This place is infested with lot of insects, flies and what not. The moment I open the window one by one starts creeping in. I have tried all sorts of things to get rid of them. But no they wont go.

I am missing out so many beautiful things because of this kind of window. Just outside hostel there are two huge puddles, which are the breeding grounds of these insects and also a slum. When it comes to insects ……I just can’t tolerate them. I’m thinking of putting a mesh to this window. I don’t like meshed window either. The window is so badly done that when it is closed you there are gaps through which insects make their way into my room. The window is stuffed with papers in these gaps. We rarely open them. Even if I open I only let the upper one open and rest closed. Some days back I had put up a curtain. When I recently moved it a bit for cleaning, what do I see there? an insect had made a home in it…..mud started falling from the back of curtain. There is no curtain also now.

There isn’t any great view outside the window. There is a large ground, some houses at a distance, some trees far away.

If only I could keep this window open I wouldn’t have missed- those sights of beautiful mist covered mornings, first rays of Sun (on the days when I’m up early), or feeling those rain drops with my hands stretched out, seeing my moon on full moon days. I would have sipped tea morn and evening gazing outside the window. Reading beside the window.I would have spent of my time next to window.

I love windows. I like them more than balcony. Some day I want a beautiful home with beautiful windows .
