With time flown wide I strong and being an almost middle aged woman I have seen..

I have seen nature and a conflict between man .. man and nature..

I have seen the sense of pride when one has all built by himself or herself.. the inner pride probably.. not to boost or not to sell .. not to prove anybody.

But a pride .. secretly hidden inside .. will come out when needed.

Today was such a day and such a time where I met such a person.

Who knows to work. An employee to many but for us a unique personality with a sense of timing.

The gardener . He came to our house with ardent pride and respect towards all. With namaste (which means greetings in Hindi) he started his work..

He started around 10 am.

With hardwork he kept on doing the work little by little.

Cleaning the garden.

Trimming the plants. Sowing the seeds, water the plants.

In between he just had 2 to 3 minutes to look at his wife’s photograph.. in his wallet.

May be..may be he was missing her.

May be it was one of their special day.

How much we know of the world

The intricacies it creates

The beauty it reflects on the plants.

How?

With the work he kept on seeing his wife’s photograph from his wallet.

Her glance in the photograph could tell exactly how much they are in love.

Again, he kept on doing the work.

Gardening.

With so much devotion it seemed he cared each of the plant like his own baby.

It took 4 long hours.

We asked him.. he must be truly missing his wife …

With a soft smile he said..I . Miss her everyday..

And every plant I care for I believe it’s her contribution of love towards the world.

She is no more

But looking at her photograph every moment gives me strength.

She gives so much strength!

He went away after taking whatever I had given him.

I gave him little extra then he deserve

Because of his true authenticity and positivity.
