Reflections of Life

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...

Light, moods, months, wave movement, blooms and so many other living things are based on the moon. Fairy tales often have the background of the moon. Its charm, no wonder, mesmerises everyone. It soothes an uneasy mind with its serenity. O moon, you are a glorious and majestic creation of God. You reflect the light of Earth on us. You control the tides’ rise and fall, you change your form every night bringing in some kind of magical spell, you shine brightly among the stars, you allow people to explore your beauty.

When, we ask an astronaut what his dream is, it is to voyage from the earth to you. You cast light to help us see our way in those dark alleys. What a magical reflection you have in a tranquil ocean, blissful! Your silver colour shows your majestic gesture. You are an independent inspiration. The m...

‘Hurry up, you’re going to be late!’   ‘OMG, you are 2 hours early, why!?’. These are two categories of people we encounter. Either: Those who like to be super early! Or: Those who, not willingly, let’s rather put it as by default, are really late! Suppose your boss sets up an important meeting, there will be at least one person who will be at the venue way in advance.  Then there is also the person who invariably walks in minutes after the meeting has already started and has some excuses in the bag for being late. For a successful and stress-free life, we should strike the balance to be neither of these two types of people. We should neither be too early nor too late. It should, in our innate planning to be wherever we have to be, just in time. We should plan, in such a way, that we reach at the perfect time. This portrays our personality. That shows our ability to plan our time effectively and hence, successfully. Sure, due to u...
