While listlessly walking in my backyard one fine Sunday evening, a pomegranate sampling attracted my attention. It is a small plant, yet it competed with other productive and adult plants around and proudly brought forth couple of fruits on its tiny and slender braches. A cursory and causal look fills us with good feeling that this plant quickly blossomed. But a persistent and inquisitive observation unravels the fact that the plant is not able to carry its produce gracefully. The fruit carrying branches are almost bent to the extent of breaking – what a pity, graceless existence? An young plant should be nourished on its roots and branches – roots enjoying the vastness and aroma of earth and braches dance to the tune of morning and evening breeze. What a beauty if branches can develop enough strength to offer a nice perch to occasional guests –small birds of various hues. Enjoy the nature and produce can always wait for a later day.
