                    Grandparents


Who are the ones who take care of you, when your parents are not there?

Sitters? Yeah for sure, some of us do have that. For instance since babyhood, my brother and I, had a sitter, more like an elder sister, as my parents are both at work.

However, who are the ones who spoil you with candies, money or any unexplained random gifts? Who are the ones who fuss about to be the first to buy you your first pyjamas?

Indeed our Grandparents!

They love you more than you can even imagine. An arab saying goes as: “Your child’s child is always sweeter”.

 You are their first thought when they are out shopping. All grandparents will bustle over you, so that you never feel that you lack something material or emotional. They will let go of their guards to grant you anything to see your smile.

 Grandparents give their grandchildren more love than they gave their own children. Usually, parents, under the pretext of discipline, do not like that grandparents give the kids all that they wish, so that’s what bring them closer and strengthen that bond and give us the reason to love them even more.

You will never feel hungry when you are at your grandparent’s place, as their aim at that age is to overfeed your stomach with the best that they have. Their number one priority is that you lack nothing and always be content. Be it a pillow, a cookie or even an underwear.

Seeing you happy make their hearts flutter with joy. Seeing you sad makes them feel terrible.

How many of us, even my mum at this age still relives those cherished moments, recall those stories, real or made-up, that our grandparents make it a point to relate to us, alter the “in our time” or the “earlier” notes by default added to those  😊

Unfortunately for those of us who have lost our grandparents at an early age, their love and care will be there with us eternally. No doubt, there is a void that is irreplaceable!

 Grandkids are the twinkle in the grandparents’ eyes. All their ails disappear just by a single glance at their energetic grandkids. Our sole presence in front of them rejuvenates their youth.                                                    
 
Our aim is to always cherish and display our love and respect.

TREES

Green, vivid, beautiful, and cooling freshness. That is a tree! It provides us with oxygen, it brightens up places with a colourful charm.  A tree plays different roles in different seasons. During autumn , it lets down leaves of all colours for people to admire while they flow around. In spring , it grows a new family of leaves and flowers for everyone to admire and feel vivid. In summer , the fruits are mature, fleshy and sumptuous enough for us to relish on. During winter , the trees fold inside to protect themselves from the icy cold and even the frigid snow. And this process continues smoothly.  Trees need water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, which in some way, makes them related to us. Rather than related I should say interdependent as we need oxygen whereas they need the carbon dioxide. Hence we co-live! A very realistic picture is that when a child starts drawing, he/she generally starts by drawing a blessing of nature—a flower; then gradually...

Blooms of Heaven

Flowers are synonymous of happy lives. Have you ever noticed, what ladies in happy couples are mostly offered. Indeed! Flowers. Why? Simple, it brings happiness. The joy of having nature’s beauties in your hand is enough to leave you grinning from one ear to another. Their scents, the vivid colours, shape, features, all of these, combine to define a flower. Flowers are of various colours like white, purple, blue, yellow, and then, there are absolute unique ones too. Look at what all flowers have inspired us to. The obvious one is Spring’s latest fashion mode. Dresses, shirts, shorts, handbags, belts, hairband, cutlery, drapes, etc. Floral impact leaves no item untouched. Life without flowers would be like life without oxygen. That statement is basically true, since, plants do produce oxygen! I wonder if it has been proven or not, flowers might be present everywhere, even in the aridest desert, we find a little bloom on the biggest giant spine, the cactus. Flowers ...

Mountains Strong, barrier-like, mountains show their worthy presence.  They differentiate themselves from the hills proudly, not vainly, but proudly. They are not small and gullible but humongous and warrior-like. They protect nations from foreign lands. When a person goes through difficult times, they should look to the mountains and say, “Even the surface of the mountains is rocky and steep, yet it stands tall through everything”, storms, cyclones, tsumani, earthquakes and so on. It doesn't bulge, but face all of them, whatever the consequences. Many people strike harsh comments at mountains without thinking, saying that people get hurt because of its rocky features and complain why its surface couldn’t be smooth. Well, first off, the more we get hurt, the deeper we mature. And, secondly, if the mountain was smooth a lot of lives would have been lost because while climbing the mountain we would not get a good footing grip and we would have slipped and di...
