A rare encounter in the wild.


A rare encounter in the wild. . .

This kept me thinking.
This is Datura metel as can be called by Botanist. I struggled to hold it in my hand becos' of its outer protection by its thorns.
I say "Don't be an easy target. Its okay you don't have to be called as a flower or a butterfly. In fact, have thorns, lots of them on the outside. Let anyone who holds you get stung millions of time. If its meant to be that person will stay no matter what. With bruises in his or her hand that person's going to hold you and cling on to you. Everyone need not have to like you.
Be a rare encounter in the wild for someone."
I am often asked by my friends 'why are you still alone?'. I say, 'My hands are still soft. I haven't met my thorns'.
P. s. This plant seem to have a lot of medicinal applications. Specially its seeds inside.

Traveler speakes.

Traveler speakes  Omg!! They are teerrrorist!!! Bhai they are....shit man we are in trouble....hey bhaiya they are evidence wala...terrorist right???. ..reacted my 2 mins 'hey bro' friend who looked more like a young Punjabi less like Andhra. We were just getting to know each other in the usual way we used to start knowing a stranger until this chained men showed up in our coach with a number of securities giving them company which made my almost friend freaked out and changed his seat. Sunny seems to be his name.  I didn't react much but soon after a family shifted to our boggy seeing them panic I almost lost my composure and started to think of things which might happen. They looked like any other Mussulman man but with their hand ornaments(chains) they somehow looked horrifying. Like all Muslims are stereotyped to be terrorists or suicide bombers it wasn't difficult for the civilians around me to call them ' adangvatis ' and were giving their own best ass

Your story is who you are!!!

Who you are!!! Everybody dreams of dream they want to live in. Based on that dream we build our world and in fact work to become the protagonist of that world. You may be an engineer who builds anything, a doctor who saves millions of lives, a singer who touches so many lives with your voice, a writer who have sold millions of copies, a fire fighter who have dedicated your live for the service of mankind, etc. etc. But in the midst of all that we are more than what we achieve and do. We all have a thing in common and which many of us seem to value less and that thing is we are all story tellers. We are telling a story of ourselves every moment of our lives. We are telling this unique story by way of living and how we are living. My question is how are we telling our story? Is our story a good story or a bad one? Our next neighbor is witnessing our story and is being affected in different ways. Our next neighbor could be our siblings, a friend, parents, a stranger or anyone with wh

Power of Imagination.

Image
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge. Its the basis of all dreams that became a reality. Its just a matter of time that this imagination sprouts into a reality. This goes out to all whose imagination never stops. I say, "Create things inside your mind that does not exist. Light your world with your imagination. Work on it; share. The world we live in feeds and grows on imagination. Who said humans cannot fly? Imagination took us to the air. Who said we cannot walk on water? We have ships today, imagination took us there. Who said a dumb cannot speak? we have sign language, imagination made it possible. Imagination will take us to the place where no one has ever stepped on. Keep your eyes above the ground. Use your senses to conspire to find your way in creating the unknown. Capture people with your imagination. Chisel your way into the world with it. As for me my pencil and my white paper is the extension of my imagination. What's yours?"... Toshiwapang O
