It’s a clean dark sky, with the crescent moon and a beautiful girl for
company to walk u down the thin green lane.

The perfect recipe to make a romantic walk with my lady and spiced with some beautiful talk.

It’s just then that I realize there are a few “gentlemen” on the other side of the lane.

I catch someone’s glance and the quick flick of his eye lashes towards his mates.

They all stop with there conversation, as if giving it a break and on the “count of three” they all move there heads to welcome us as hungry dogs with watery mouths and greedy eyes and stare ..
stare at my girl.

My eyes slim, preparing myself to meet those eyes and ready to suppress any of the onslaught that only their eyes can provide.

I catch each pair of eyes and stare until it looks down,
until it understands that it no longer can look this way,
until they realize that they need to continue from where they left behind.

Our walk and the romantic talk continues as soon as we pass them by,
They continue their conversation but only until they see another couple pass by.

Amidst the darkness (night) there is always a light (moon).
i.e., from every sorrow, grief, failure there is always something to learn.

When the Sun sets the Moon rises & vice versa.
i.e., Happiness (Sun) is always lurking behind the sorrow (night/darkness) as the Moon, only disguised; We have to find it.

The phases of the Moon.
i.e., Every single day has something to tell, to preach, to teach, to feel;

and the last one which needs no explanation:
it gets the darkest before dawn.

A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he asked:
‘Are you writing a story about what we’ve done? Is it a story about me?’

His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson:
‘I am writing about you, actually, but more important than the words is the pencil I’m using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.’

Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It didn’t seem very special.

‘But it’s just like any other pencil I’ve ever seen!’

‘That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.’

‘First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.’

‘Second quality: now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpner. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he’s much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

‘Third quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.’

‘Fourth quality: what really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.’

‘Finally, the pencil’s fifth quality: it always leaves a mark. in just the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action’

People do not think very much about death. They spend their lives worrying about absurdities; they put things off, and fail to notice important moments. They don’t take risks, because they think it is dangerous. They complain a lot, but are afraid to take action. They want everything to change, but they themselves refuse to change.

If they thought a little more about death, they would never forget to make that much-postponed phone call. They would be a little crazier. They would not be afraid of this incarnation coming to an end, because you cannot fear something that is going to happen anyway.

A wise man once said, ‘ Death is always sitting by your side so that, when you need to do something important, it will give you the strength and the courage that you need. ‘

I have always linked Humans to Global Warming eversince I understood what it was, but never expected livestock and cattle also to be active contributors to global warming !

A few facts listed below will make things clearer to you:

* The world’s 1,530 million cattle contribute more to global warming than its 900 million cars and commercial vehicles.
* The gas from livestock flatulence and manure is now estimated to contribute to 27 per cent of global warming
* The high methane content is reported to be 23 times more “warming” than carbon dioxide.
* The urine has high concentrations of ammonia that contributes to acid rain.
* 900 litres of water is required to produce one litre of milk.
* India accounts for over 18 per cent of the worlds cattle, i.e approximately 5 per cent of the global warming is caused by the Indian livestock.

There’s so much to learn from a tree, so much to understand. Its purpose on this beautiful planet is not only to form the basis of all life forms on Earth but also to teach us to lead beautiful lives.

The colour Green teaches us of ‘oneness’ - everyone’s equal.

The roots and the stem teaches us to be strong and brave.

The many battles’ it faces fighting natures apathy teaches us of perseverance and patience.

The branches teach us of kindness, of purity and unselfishness.

Its immobility teaches us of dedication, of having a clear understanding of your goals and working towards achieving them.

These are just a few that I have learnt in all these years and I know there are many more which I am yet to learn.

My aim in writing this post is to do my bit by returning the kindness and helping the world become a cleaner and a greener place. For every 20 comments left on this blog, I will plant a tree.

So please help me in my quest and I would be very grateful if u could become a part of it too.

Regards.
