Another day ends. As I pass thorough the streets towards my place I noticed a small rose sapling uprooted from somewhere & thrown on the road. I picked it up & took it with me. after reaching my place I planted the sapling in small earthen pot. In the morning I watered the sapling though it was a bit crushed & had few leaves left still I was determined that it would survive. Everyday before leaving for work I used to talk to the plant just to give it a moral support. I don't know but that small act became a routine for me. I used to say "Hey buddy, You look better today. I love you. You have to live for me & for my love. You are the bravest of all". And finally the small sapling started to grow & sprouted small leaves. I was so excited that I almost cried. Tears of joy I would say & after couple of months it beared it's first bud. And finally it bloomed. I was on the seventh sky as I was eagerly waited for this day. You know why I am so attached with the plant ? It reminds me of my own life. Crushed, Shattered, Betrayed, Mocked. But still I move on. I have to bloom & bear the fruits so that I can be helpful for someone. Life is not only about satisfying our own greed. We need to be helpful as bringing a smile on others will bring internal peace to yourself. I have learnt that no matter how hard the path is, no matter who leaves you in the middle of the journey & no matter how much sacrifices you have to make in order to reach the paradise where the Lord awaits for you. Speak kind words, help those in needs, spread love & peace. There will be good days & bad days but the only thing which needs to be constant is our faith & ethics. A rose never blooms alone, though it has thorns on it's stem but the fragrance fills the ambiance with a heavenly feeling. To get the rose one has to feel the pain of the thorn.
