People So Far..
On a summer evening, I
took a night flight to the
most beautiful place in
the world. As I glanced
out of my airplane
window below, I'm
dazzled to see twinkling
lights, like the
constellations in the sky,
for a moment I felt, I've
travelled through space
and time.

If you ever took the morning flight, I must say, God did create a
carpet spread across the peninsular of South India as velvet
green, destined to get the sobriquet God's Own Country - Kerala.
I've landed in the most 'happening' seasons ever. It's the magical
monsoon showers, sun blanched beaches, misty mountains, reverberating
with the rhythm of fairs, festivals and marriages!
Sipping the traditional 'chai' (tea) and gazing at the acres of rubber
plants, I realized I'm blessed to return back to my home country.
As I look deeper, I not only see the tall rubber trees, growing along with it are other creepers and climbers. There are ferns and
wild flowers. There are shrubs and weeds. There are crickets and
dragonflies, dried leaves and broken branches. And this is how
the circle of life was meant to be. As essential it's for a plant to
have its daily supply of sunlight, water and soil. Likewise the
climbers too require the taller trees to grow. And the dragonflies
learn to thrive with the shrubs. To create a family amongst themselves,
this eventually evolves to the survival of the fittest.
Similarly we human beings at all stages of our lives, from birth to
death, we live a life like a plant which gives and takes, climbs and
falls, nurtures and survives. But what is more important above all
is: A tree is known by its fruits; a man by his deeds. A good deed
is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who
plants kindness gathers love.
So friends, I'm sure you can sow a good thought as well today,
and as you sow so shall you reap, for generations to come, provided
you remain deep rooted in faith and realize it doesn't take
long to turn into a new leaf.
Stay Inspired!
