The withering tree......

It's absolutely amazing how we do not understand the most basic of things which are universal truths and are repeatedly told by all our well-wishers but then one fine day someone special who we generally do not agree with, most of the times, would some how make us understand the thing or shall i say , "the divine understanding" of the things which are as simple and as blatant as the 'rising of the sun'.

That some one is obviously your well-wisher like the many others who also had tried to make you understand those things, infact the one thing that you are so sure of would change your life tremendously even before you have actually put it to use or to your advantage, this belief ,in fact, in something that you have been told by someone close to you sets the tone for you to further believe in your self to the extents of achieving the most unachievable goal in your life.....that suddenly shifts you goals to soar far above the limits that the sky could have set even for some one half as cheerfully positive , exuberant as you feel that day, that moment. you feel radiant in that moment of that day, because you have now been made to understand that you can not be the TREE... the tree, not the one which is known for its delicious fruits, its splendour, the shelter it gives the beauty it renders to the world that surrounds it...but ....is known for the fact that it withered away, shed its leaves...not when it was destined to ...not when it had really been blown away by a whirl of wind...this earth could not have borne.

YOU CAN NOT BE THAT 'TREE'......CAN U BE?????

I can not be. Neither do I expect any one to be that intimidatingly fearful...that you wilt up .....like the tree, i told you about , or did i?????

Have you not heard of the tree that shrivelled of fear...a strong , huge, gigantic tree....scared..very scared!!!
Don't tell me you can't guess what it was soo..."scared" of????

oh.......let me tell you....THE TREE was not trembling of the soo....STRONG WIND...... but the coward was shaking of the anticipation ....anticipation, not of it bearing delicacies....but....anticipation of the wind......(whooooooooo)...heard it??? neither could I!

The 'Tree', though some how could...and as it could it was aware..aware of the fact that the wind was strong...very very strong...sooo strong that its strength would uproot...the tree, and fade the imprint it had created on the face of the earth over the loooong years of its existence...the tree thought 'the wind' could unearth the niche ...niche of the tree that bore the fruits...???? niche of the tree that could hear the wind...???

I'M REALLY CURIOUS TO KNOW ...WHAT HAPPENED TO 'THE TREE'....do you know what happened to it???? do tell me what your, 'it' stands for!!!

It took quite some time for the tree to realize that he is trying to avoid the inevitable. That the imminent death that it is about to face is not the end of his long journey of life.... but rather a completion of it. All the memories of its life came once again in its mind. About the joys that its eventful life had brought to so many creatures, the shelter that it has provided to those who needed it at times when sky was merciless. And the hunger that its fruits has satitated over so many years. And then he realized the REASONS of its life.... TO GIVE OTHERS WHATEVER THEY NEED, irrsespective of its owndesires. And it realized that even after it is dead,it will provide a source of life to those who would still be living long after it is gone. It remembered what it stood for over so many years.... SELFLESSNESS. And suddenly all the fears disappered from its mind. And it stood there, steady and lively as ever, awaiting whatever futur has in store for it

is having a heart a "crime"??? why are only the show-offs understood and accepted? why does no one realize the genuinity if you don't brag about your contributions? it's only the ones who shed tears are actually apologised to. why are the braver people as good as condemned? people have expectations from you but they can not mention the same in words for their inflated ego. you are never appreciated for helping someone but you are as hell reprimanded for the slightest of mistakes. is it too much to expect that the people you help keeping aside your responsibilities, help you back or atleast leave a note of thank, even if not apreciate or feel oblidged that you were there when the world had turned its back to their face? why in the world is the one who accepts faults bombasted and the one stubborn people are categorised as "principled"? there are people who are fathomed...but there are also people who only act "pricey", no one acknowledges amidst the
