"Fenestra" is a word in literature which means "Window". The Window is an important component in the lives of us youngsters with fights happening for the window seat in trains and wanting to sit by the window because of the cool breeze that comes. We always wake up in the morning and look out of the window. But have we ever wondered what would the scene have been in the past or maybe what it would be in the future ??
In the past, the window showed perfect harmony in the life of man and nature. Lush Greenary, chirping birds and man going about his daily routine and working hard to reap the sweet fruits of his labour.
But this did not last long. Man took the shape of a greedy devil but mother nature did not retalliate. And what was the outcome of this ??? Just one look outside the window will give us the answer.
Concrete buildings, polluted rivers, vanishing greenary and dumped garbage !!!
The Ganga , at its holiest spot in Varanasi yeilds toxic water !! And it is not the Ganga alone; almost all of the rivers in India are polluted with chemicals. Man is taking advantage of the ever-giving attitude of nature. Darkness has entered the minds of people. There is corruption in almost every field ! People want to eat the sweet fruits of success without working hard.
What the window will show in the future is a big question... Will there be any trees left ? Will there be birds and animals outside captivity ? Will there be any usable water left ? The scene that the window of the future will show lies in the hands of man.
Nature has been very patient with man. It is man who should realise that he is aiming at his own destruction.
Act now for a better future !!
