The hanging balcony,the round balcony running around the perimeter of the house or the straight balcony along the front of the house-Whatever it is, I absolutely need to have a balcony…they are my breathing spaces....They are my refuge from the present and a time machine to my past ..These jutting out structures- I hold so dear to me,without them I feel like asphyxiating ..Whatever a balcony was to Juliet,it couldn’t have been less for me !! Whatever a balcony was to Monet, it was almost the same for me with let’s say a “ minor “ difference- I cannot wield the brush like he did,but that didn’t stop me from painting a thousand suns and moons,of the ablaze sky and trees- all in the empty canvases of my mind….How else would I dream of catching hold of those fluffed up clouds and want to feel their texture between my fingers,if I haven’t had a balcony to call my own ???
hi sulagna,
ReplyDeleteI too feel the same about balconies...there are always some special moments in the balcony ... the view and breeze always uplift us to a world away from all our miseries..i love balconies which are higher as people look tiny and vehicles look like toys..and i feel how tiny we must be from gods balcony : )...our problems too must be very tiny for him and we make such a fuss about our little problems...the balcony brings me closer to god...i do my yoga n meditations in the balcony ....and my relaxed and lovely moments with my hubby ... thanks for your post which makes me happy to read and view life in a wonderful way

ReplyDeleteVery true words..balcony is indeed a place which keeps us away ( atleast for sometime) frm the day-to-day sufferings of life. I too stand in the balcony when the cool breeze helps me to forget the worries of life ( u know it :D)
