Have you ever analysed a rainbow…?

Last Sunday I saw a big rainbow making the white iced sky full of colors. The beautiful blanket of clouds covering the sky appeared to be a big bunch of ice cream. The rainbow’s stretch alluded to me as if it was saying that “I have conquered the kingdom of rainy season from today. Like every year, there will be no more rains from now.” Sounds imaginative, but that is the main task a nature observer does. At that time, I was in my college practicing for our skit performance. My director asked me to concentrate on my dialogues but I could not help watching and imagining the scene. Another cue which I inferred from it was that as if the rainbow is a rope tying the clouds into it so that they are not able to shed any more water droplets on earth. Third thing that struck into my mind was the size of that rainbow. Such a big stretch over the sky and at the same time, the flying of clouds as if they were protesting against the boundations being created by the rainbow. As if they were saying and disagreeing to lie down weapons (rain droplets). The whole thing seemed to have so many things happening at same time that any one like me could have got flew away with the waves of mild air. I could not make it out that it was the same rainbow we used to see in our childhood years. But yes it was the same rainbow, exotic band of seven colors, appearing in a semi circular shape. It also gave a message that let your arms go as far as they can. And grab the limitless sky with your strong determination and will power.

Sights and teachings of nature to us (ii)

Taking the series of entries i have begun, in this part i will try to present the beautiful scene of nature i saw in one of the blogs posted by a known person. Those who have made gardening as their hobby, might have come forth an experience when they planted and supported a small plant sapling to grow into a big shady tree or a gloomy flowering plant. I also have an experience of such kind. When I was a kid, we used to live in a Govt. accommodation where a large area was provided for gardening. Some people used it as a place to park their cars and for some it was an area where a layer of comfortable grass was grown and it was used as we go and walk in a park. But for us, it came to be used as a garden full of flowers and small bushes. I still remember when our gardener used to come for making it free of useless grass and other things. Once he came with a small sapling of guava tree. I guess it was rainy season. After shifting it from the plastic bag to our backyard soil, he asked me to get him some wooden pieces for it to stand. I was also fond of watching things like planting a tree and making the soil etc. We collected pieces of bamboo and within 15 minutes, a frame was ready before my eyes. He kept it in the frame for at least a month after which it became strong enough that even rain could not disturb him. Nowadays, it has grown up into a full fledged tree that yields plenty of fruits every year. 

Whats is my inference from this incident now that when we are kids like that small sapling, our parents put in full efforts to protect us from harsh faces of life as the gardener did by making a frame around the sapling to protect it from rain. But once we become strong enough to stand and bear all that harshness ourselves, we are left free to make efforts on our own to bear everything and face all the difficulties. We should not feel lonely at any point of life and stand high fearlessly against the wind as a tree does. As nature makes that tree capable of bearing all the things it makes us also...

Sights and teachings of nature to us (i)

Whenever I can, I spare out some time so as to observe the beauty of nature. Its not true to say that nature shows its beauty to some people only. It is presented before all of us. But only a few take out time to give it a thought. Sitting near the window yesterday night I headed towards the sky in search of some diamonds which we call stars. But could locate even a single there. This was due to the blanket of clouds taken over by them. And, the very next day that is today itself, it was raining. But that was only till 8.30. Because after that the day got converted into a shinny day with the sharp rays of the sun drying the roads. This is how the nature teaches us to react after every bad incident. Behave as if nothing has happened. As it happened when the rain stopped and sunshine came. The same way bad times come, hinder your life for some time and vanish away. But it all depends on you whether you want to feel fresh and make a new beginning or you want to stay sad remembering what all happened to you even after it is over. There are many other things which I would love to and will be sharing with you in my next entries.

Looking ahead for a better tomorrow

Some people say its just in today what you can do, achieve, and mend. But according to me, whatever mistakes we committed today, can be mended tomorrow {Provided tomorrow always remain limited to just one next day}. One should not spoil all the tomorrows that are yet to come in repenting what wrong has been done today. There is always a chance to give better performance tomorrow.
  Taking a look towards the other side of this, it is also true that every thing has an end which gives rise to another beginning. That means, with every dusk in the evening we should bury and end up all the things we think which have been wrongly done and give our life a new beginning as the sun does with every dawn inn the morning.
 To conclude the above sentences, it can be said that every mistake can be mended and we should always look forward for a better tomorrow.
