This is My Clothesline !


Good old days, every house (should I say almost all) in the villages had a fair amount of front garden as the land was not an issue then and they were spread well in any village.

One thing distinctive in the beautiful front lawn was in one corner of it, there were Clothes Lines to put their washed linen to dry under the sun.

No Gizmos, like Washers and Dryers then and all were hand washed and dried under the Sun always.

This clothesline was used subliminally to showcase one’s possessions and status symbol as well.

Fast forward a few decades to the front and things have changed quickly.

With the population, explosion gizmos have taken over the world.

Houses are so close to each other now that one can hear his or her neighbour snoring in the nights and not many front gardens anymore.

With this change of scene, the Front Lawn clotheslines too have gone missing.

For a period of time, many were lost not knowing how to expose their stories and wealth, of course subliminally with the missing clotheslines in their front lawns.

Then the Social Media platforms have come and taken over the world today.

Nowadays it has become the vogue and it has surely replaced the much loved and much missed front lawn clothesline.

Today, many use them as their clothesline and use them for the same subliminal purpose.

Sometimes, someone washing his or her and or someone else’s dirty linen is visible but the majority still uses it for the same purpose as a few centuries ago.

For one purpose only and that is to subliminally showcase one’s wealth and status.

Those who had no big front lawns with clotheslines then do not know what to do with these Social Media lawns now other than being envious, resentful and bellicose.

This is my front lawn clothesline now but I do not hang other’s washed dirty linens here.

Instead, I showcase my Mood and Wealth here.

But if my clothesline upset any in any way, it only tells who they were real and not me.

My clothesline, my moods and my wealth.
