Tree of fruits!


Some trees do not need much attention! They bring their fruits in their season! 

As I watch this sight at least twice in a year, I have become aware of a contrast. 

None of the seven mango saplings that we planted, five of them five years back, show no sign of even flowering. The mango saplings received all the prescribed attention! They are pest prone and weather sensitive!

Although we have twenty or so different fruit bearing trees, there are some which are resistant to the care we offer! Or do they need more than what we provide!

Sometimes we can get exhausted in caring without due returns! It is not the need which shall determine the extent of caring, but one's own choice to stay within the preset boundary!

This is a paradox in life!
