While commuting to office, I use almost all modes of road transports, Auto rickshaw, Train, Taxi for a one hour journey. Irrespective of the chaos in the surrounding, that travelling time is my ME time. During this one hour, I ponder, introspect, read, watch the many souls in their own moods and during this melee, sometimes have an awakening or two. Awakening is just a flash of some quotes, some beliefs, some positive people's talks etc. Long time back, I thought why don't I pen down these awakenings as I had started this blog way back to share my awakenings. But, the lazy me loves to read blogs and not write one. But, this Monday morning I have got rid off my laziness and started the week with great optimism.
Today, while commuting I had an awakening that I should not be a burden to this beautiful Universe of mine. I felt like giving back a lot to my Mother Earth who has protected me throughout, given me enough to breath, drink and eat. She has made my life easier commuting to office whilst I am making her life miserable traveling in the vehicles which emit obnoxious gases. This necessary evils are part of the city life which u cannot avoid. And this awakening, led me to think that I should do my bit to balance my wrong doings as I cannot avoid travelling in these vehicles.
They say Charity begins at home so why not implement this proverb. I do have some flowering pots in my balcony. So, I thought why not add some more flowering plants and help Mother Universe breathe a bit easier. I am not a green finger person though I belong to a family of one. From the time I remember, I always had some plants growing in my surroundings but have never bothered to tend to them. Of course, I had the pleasure of seeing those beautiful flowers bloom and adorn my temple or my corner table. Those flowers added a lot of color to the four walls, it created a calming peace by just being there. Even if they did not speak their silence created mystic music and many a time calmed my throbbing head.
So now, I have taken a pledge to nurture these plants, grow more plants and create my own nursery because Mother Earth's well-being is always for the good of mankind. This action of mine may be a tiny droplet in helping create a much better place than the one in which we live in. But I know in times to comes, the Universe will create a happier zone for me as I have given her a reason to smile.
Hope while reading this blog, if at least one person feels inspired to do their bit for the betterment of the Universe, I will feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful Earth.
