A JOURNEY OF ME AND NATURE

 A JOURNEY OF ME AND NATURE

       Since my childhood I have been travelling from here and there . Sometimes to Barpeta , sometimes to Nagaon and sometimes to Guwahati to pay social visits to my kith and kin .We had this twice or thrice a year , mostly during the vacations and holidays. I enjoyed every single trip , and it has been possible because of the nature and meeting during it .

  

Through the window of our car ,lying flat in the back seats ,my mother in the front left seat and father in the driving seat ,I enjoyed every view I could see. The white beautiful clouds appearing in various formation plays hide and seek with me; the hot summer sun and the beautiful moon at night always promises to be with me . The tree canopies with coloured leaves waves their hands at me, wishing me a happy journey. During monsoon , the small droplets of rain , sliding at my window glass ,behave as if  trying to have glance at me. And during winter , the cold wind laughs at me ,addressing me as a banana blossom.

    When I peep through my window , I can see vast paddy fields  and green tea gardens. The trees that stood at the road side gives the best atmosphere for travellers. And rivers shine like crystals in the sunlight. Pedestrians and cyclists are common views to be observed. Sometimes we are lucky enough to see migratory birds and animals and sometimes the foreigners.

    

But this was all onces ago. Now the rivers shines like plastic bags ; trees are shorter than us without leaves ; the trees now give a very hot climate ; instead of shadow we receives sun rays, the green paddy are no more green like before ,all silver and grey in colour; pedestrians and foreigners are replaced by plastic items ;and I could only see animal’s skins and bird’s feathers decored in the human chest . All I could see is the human made wonders. And most wonder of all is that ,every single man is supporting this world either being neutral or  being a liar.

      People says protect  nature (in social medias) and destroys the world secretly. People see others insensitive to nature but not to itself. Why don’t we look to ourselves ? Why are we waiting for others to do? I can say one thing :stop looking at others ,their fault and activities ; stop waiting for others ; the only thing is that it is you and ours future because one man ,one idea ,one hand and one promise for nature can change today’s world.
