THE LOST VINTAGE
Once he went
on a visit to the places were only few people were living. It was like nucleus
in an atom. Peter went there and got the whole visit of village. At that time
the village was not much known, there was no particular name of the village. It
was generally addressed by nearby places. When he finished the visit he fell in
love with that village in first sight. After getting all the knowledge of that
place peter decided to move there with his family and a small committee. On
going there and before starting settlement he sow some seeds. And out of that
one seed germinated.
As peter was
nature lover he found himself much attached to the nature and the growing plant.
He made the whole village full of greenery with the help of people living
there. He named the village as “vandoi” because he was having a good knowledge
in the ancient and respected Sanskrit literature. In Sanskrit ‘van’ means
forest which refers to nature and simplicity of life.
The tree
grown by peter was itself named as vandoi.
As this tree grows the village prosperous.
The growth was in all fonts. The much the tree grows the much the village prosperous
with wealth, happiness, cherishes. The people from different places start inhibiting
here. The whole village was popular by that tree. The people there started
worshiping the tree. It was magical and completed all the wishes of the people
there. For them tree was at the position of god. The tree was that much
enormous that people used to keep the meetings get to gathers etc there. It was
heart of the village.
By this time
Fedrick wington, Son of Mr.peter wington was born. Fedrick was also just like
his father. Kind, nature loving, cherish etc. the whole childhood of fedrick
was spent in vandoi. There was one more unique thing. As humans have their own
house the tree was also having its own house by its side. The barks of tree and
some prop roots gave the shape of a house. The people there and wington family
noticed this and made the house worth a visit. The house was so cool. The
breeze there just make you feel like heaven. There was a swing in there
where everyone used to spent their time.
A good fresh water supply, herbs and shrubs etc. that surrounding place was not
less than heaven. Fedrick was also
brought up in all these. The whole wington family was much attached to vandoi
tree. but as the generation changed many things changed. Urbanization increased
people from nearby villages started migrating
in cities. This thing was not observed in this village till now. But it was
only till then. A very small amount of people started migrating like 5 person a
year. But for tree this was not a thing to happen. Wington family was having
connections with the tree. They got to know that tree was felling sad. As one
person leave the house one leaf of tree turns yellow and fall down. Years spent
and the number increased to 15. By this time rupert wington was born. Rupert
was brought up all by this tree. It was having emotional connections with the
tree. Tree thought himself as the best friend and another father of rupert. He
used to spend his all day near the tree and the tree house. By this time Mr.
peter wington was no more. Rupert and whole wington family along with vandoi
tree was sorrow.
As years
passed many people leaved the village in greed of more money, facilities,
improved life style forgetting that they are having the best lifestyle one
could ever have.
The
situation got worse and the greed took people of. This was what we call as
generation gap. The youth was not understanding the power were they live.
Rupert was turning to adult at that time and have to complete his further
education and have to settle. Fedrick was in worry for his son for his
education as he was one and only son of him. He wanted to have rupert live the
best life. Fedrick was different than other parents. By knowing the situation
at that time, fedrick also came in greed for his son to have him best life in
city. rupert did not wanted to go. But
the peer pressure made him to do so.
He visited
the tree and said him goodbye with tears running down. After meeting him he
went to urban areas along with his family.
He completed
his studies, settled there and started a family. His dad died soon (after 5-6
years) after going to city area due to changed environment, eating habits and
polluted environment etc. He was having
a beautiful wife named Lisa who supported her in every work rupert does. After
20 years rupert got a dream of the tree that the tree was calling him. Without
wasting a time rupert and his wife went to vandoi. He reached there and saw
that the whole village was a disaster no people were living there. It was just
like the situation before the formation of the village. Rupert went to the
tree. Only few leaves turning yellow were there on the tree and it was in his
final moments. The last thing tree conveyed was “I tried my best to save all
this but couldn’t, now its my time to go and get release from all this.” By completing
this the few leaves also fall off. Ruperts eyes turned red and full of regrets.
He than saw the tree house, house was there but lifeless. He set there and told
everything to his wife. During that time rupert saw some seeds lying down
near that tree. A hope was seen. He
sowed that seeds and after some days it germinated. A hope of positivness took
birth. Happiness took birth. From that day rupert decided to live there only
and give the shining and respect to the village back.
