The Beautiful World around us !

The world around us has become so small. It simply fits into our mobile phones and TVs. A funny fact is that sometimes we think that we can conquer the globe so easily. But is it really that the world has become so small or it is we who have stopped discovering? When was the last time we gazed out of the window to take a look at the scenery of the outside earth; or was it mostly because everywhere there was a grey concrete jungle? Or during a journey, we studied the landscape and described its beauty instead of chatting or playing video games on our phones throughout the journey.

The excuse we give is that there is nothing to look at outside the window. But the truth is that everything in the universe is beautiful, it is just that we don’t wish to recognise nature’s charm. Once if we give only 5 minutes of our life to look outside the window and seek the silence in the noise, we can gain the peace of mind that we never even experienced before. Even the sound of vehicles, construction sites, faraway noises can be soothing if we concentrate. Surprisingly the chirping of birds which is lost through the cities can be heard if we take in the details of the surroundings. Isn’t it amazing?

The wonder of the golden sun shining brightly on the evergreen trees and if it has just rained then the mesmerising view of the wet roads, birds flying around while people are closing their colourful umbrellas. Don’t you feel relaxed just by reading this description? If yes, then don’t wait, go, open the window and feel the freshness in the air and take a look at the absorbing nature which splashes its colours everywhere. You will feel more content than ever and discover a joy that you must have never experienced before!
