My Balcony,My Solitude

There is always some place where one wants to go when he feels all stressed out or frustrated or just disillusioned.One such place for me is my balcony.I stay on the 14th floor so the view from my place is something i always cherish.
Sometimes late at night when the world has slept and all the lights have gone dim,i just go and stand watching the view outside,somehow whenever i go there i can see my entire life from there.How many of u can see the things which i see from my balcony , i bet none !!! So what do i see when i am there ?

  • There's this nice hill which is right in front of my balcony, and when i am there late at night i can see it's outline against the silent background,it looks so beautiful and even more so during the monsoons, when the clouds cover up the whole mountain or sometimes just a part of it.THAT view is simply fantastic.
  • I can see my school,my wonderful school AECS-2 where i have spent 11 yrs of my childhood right from kindergarten to X,where i have grown up,played,studied,laughed, and spent those moments in my life which i won't ever forget.
  • I can see those buildings where i went to tutions in 8-10th std:
    • Dhawalgiri- Where i used to go for maths tution for 3 yrs till X std.all those time i have spent after school sittting in the building's compound and having fun with my friends before and after the class.Mukho mam for better or for worse its was nice having studied under you.
    • Gulmarg - Where i used to go for hindi tutions for 2yrs in IX and X std. It can hardly be called tution coz it lasted on a average for about 1/2 an hour, but without whom i couldn't have learned all those paryavachi shabd.Srivastava aunty you were simply sweet and wonderful.thank you for teaching us hindi in such a simple manner.
    • Almora -Where i used to go for sci tutions in X and XI std.This tution was my fav tution of them all esp in X std coz there were less no. of students as compared to others and its was so much fun learning over there,nikhil it was really nice studyin with u in those yrs.The time i used to come back late at night was something worth remembering.Thank U fotedar uncle for teaching me phy and chem and helping me get my 94 in sci in X std.
  • I see those building where i used to stay before on. Everest and Nandadevi. I have got a soft spot in my heart for Everest coz that's always gonna be my FAV building ever.I can't even start to write about the years i have spent in that building and the friends i had made.(maybe in someother post ,someother time). Nanadadevi will be remembered only for varun and khanni & the swing which was in the garden.
  • I can almost see my junior college AEJC, where i had spent another 2 yrs of my life.XI was just fun and keedagiri.That was the time when i had almost given up studying.Studyin maths which i had a difficult time understanding on last night study before exams with varun along with a help from a certain "probability" handmade notes.
  • I can see the house of my best friend from my balcony.
  • I can see the roads where i have taken countless no. of walks in the eve and nights and traveled to-fro school and JC for years now.
  • And u know what else i can see,i can see the airport strip.I kid you not.THIS is the 2nd-most important reason why i started loving my balcony.Every night i come and watch planes take-off and land. i can very well see them land right until the time they are on the runway and just seconds after they take-off. I imagine myself in one of those planes few years down the line in search of the other side,where the grass is always green.
  • Last but not the least , the most important reason why i love this place , is because i can see myself clearly and not darkly.I can see where i need to be heading in life , i can see what has to be done,somehow all my doubts vanish when i just stand there and look at the world from there.So whenever i don't get sleep or i need to get some peace of mind,u know where to find me : MY Balcony is MY solitude.
