Chinese bamboo tree:
You take a little seed, plant it, water it, and fertilize it for years, and nothing happens. You never notice any thing growing above the ground.
During the fifth year it grows 90 feet tall in just 5 weeks!
Some say it’s just a story and not true.
But it teaches something.
What is it?
“Overnight Successes” are years in the making” Unknown

✔Marked by strength or power
✔Marked by excellent quality
Which is stronger? A leaf or a bud/flower?
The answer is easy-peasy. Is it not so?
The bud is a delicate structure yet to develop whereas the flower is a lightweight structure.
There is no comparison between flowers and leaves in the matter of strength.
The leaf is definitely stronger than bud/flower. Am I right?
But in the image below you can notice how the buds pierce the leaf and bloom into a full-fledged flower.(shallow depth of field is due to result of using 100mm f/2.8 macro lens)
I am also surprised at the shape of the holes in the leaf. More or less they are round shaped!
How is it that they are circular?
I don’t know.

“You see the wall he’s building around him. You don’t see the prisoner he’s turning into” Nitya Prakash
Said to have been built in the late 2nd century AD.
It stands 35 feet (10.6 metres) high.
Of course, these walls are built to protect the city from the invaders.
These walls served the purpose for which they were built.
Why do they try to protect themselves?
I don’t know the answer or the reason.
Maybe that is the way we have to live and lead our life.
I remember John Lennon’s meaningful song ‘Imagine’– Lennon wished a world that is at peace, with no denominations of religions and everyone giving ‘peace’ a chance.

The station saw more sincere kisses than the marriage registry office.
And the walls of the hospital may have heard more sincere prayers than the church.”

I have a question for you.
What do you do if the flight is delayed?
Do you get annoyed, angry, curse your bad luck or do you take it easy?
Some say just enjoy the fun by watching the people, the various moods and of course a little bit of shopping if it happens to be a busy airport or an international airport.
Some enjoy just sleeping in one corner.
I noticed some people grooming in the restroom in front of the shining mirrors hours together!
I always enjoy watching people.
But many enjoy their sleep.
That is the way of life!
My friend, everything happens for a reason and the result is beneficial to us. Take advantage of this.

Nadaswaram (Double reed wind instrument) is a conical wind instrument made of wood and metal.
In the image above the man in the center is holding the Nadaswaram.
It can be as long as 95cm (37 inches).
Nadaswaram is said to be one of the loudest non brass acoustic instrument in the world.
Nadaswaram is used as a traditional classic musical instrument in South India.
In this part of the country, Nadaswaram is considered to be very auspicious and is a key musical instrument played in almost all the major functions, during festivals, ceremonies, weddings and in all the temple events (South Indian Culture).
The instrument plays a major role in classical Karnatak music.
It is usually played in pairs and accompanied by barrel drums.

One place in this world, where quietness is unwelcome is the children’s playground.
“The empty playground, just depicts, about today’s lost childhood” Sushma Murmu
These Covid days, kids are helpless.
They are not in a position to play just like how they were playing before 2020.
What is the use of a playground, when no children are around?
Definitely, the energy is missing.
The action is missing.
I am missing those funny noises of kids, their funny faces, and the humour.
But Corona is dampening the spirits!
Hope and pray for better days for everyone including the children

“I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos” Tom Hanks
Someone who loves the moon is known as a selenophile or a philoselene.
“The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do.
Every day it’s a different version of itself.
Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light.
The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain, alone. Cratered by imperfections” Tahereh Mafi
