In these difficult and gloomy times all over the world and India. Also, since I have been in process of recovery from Corona Infection. Too much of negativity around.
This story had to be told...
This morning when I was watering the plants in my balcony garden.
This little blooming of flower in my balcony garden..was such a joyous moment for me. It gave me so much pleasure and emotion that I thought to write about it here and share with the world.
The story behind this little thing. The power of hope and positivity and to be perseverant and being confident.
The story started around two years back, when I bought this plant and put in my balcony..in initial days it was fully laden blooming with flowers. Keeping our balcony beautiful and cheerful.
2 yrs back..When i had bought it, in the initial days..
As you all know, in UAE summer are intense and heat waves are frequent during July to mid September. I think it was after 6-7 months, this plant was hit by one of those unfortunate heat waves and whole leaves and and branches got roasted. It was such a unfortunate sight, a fully laden green plant turns into dried leaves and twigs.
After it was hit by the heat waves and had almost got dried up within couple of weeks.
For me, it was like all is over and had planned to discard this and get the new one. But something in my heart was telling me, don't discard it...It will survive.
I don't why, but I did not discarded it, but kept it watering, manuring for good old 3-4 months with no progress and hope. I was just going on.
Then miracle started happening, small green shoots started appearing on the brown barren twigs. It was such a joy to watch the sight and that my effort had realized. I had hope and was perseverant and was going on and on taking care of the plant without any much of thought.
And after 8-9 months plants was back on its feet again, all green, but flowering was not happening. Again I kept on going with my routine of watering, manuring.
Somewhere, I knew one day it would start flowering.
Gosh !!..It started after 5-6 months..Today !!
When I saw the flower blooming today, I was so overjoyed and filled with emotions. It was such a beautiful joyous sight. I hugged my wife with joy when saw this nature's work
My hope and perseverance had paid.
I thought to share with you all to show.. that power of positivity, hope and perseverance always wins overs negativity.
There are moments when you feel just helpless, sometimes useless with nothing in control. But keep hope, keep doing.. keep going..
That's the lesson
