Point of View - 1

"Udhar dekh" (Look there) Vishnu said.
I looked at the window that he was pointing to in the building across the parking. There was a young couple, in a semi-embrace, making out.

It was more than a smile that came to my lips as I looked at the couple for a few minutes, weaving through other similar memories in my mind.
I generally glanced at the other window besides the first one and looking at the classroom there realised that the floor was being used as some kind of a school or college.

My smile was replaced with a grin as I realised that the unique view that we were enjoying.
From where we stood, we could see a room full of intellectual knowledge exchange and no baser instincts visible. (Although I bet the Indian guy sitting there was totally checking out the blonde diagonally ahead of him)

For all we knew, people in this room might as well be having some biology lessons, oblivious to the fact that there was a biology practical of a kind being executed in the room besides them.

In the other room, all that was visible was love and passion.
Again, for all we knew, the couple making out was least bothered about the people in the adjoining room and the nuances of hormones.
They would be more mindful of the romance in the air, the fun and adventure in the moment. They might be conscious of any footsteps out of the door and the steps they had taken towards some kind of an emotional (long or short) future.

The irony which made me smile, this was all contained and separated by thin walls, segregating their two small worlds but allowing us to see them as cross sections, owing to the angle we had ! A different viewpoint that is.

How does that relate to the point of view that we maintain with us and the mental block that we have?
Does it say something about people who advise us claiming they have an "expert opinion”?


I intend to express my thoughts on it. Do write if you feel likewise.
