Summer blossoms!




Some road side scenes can hold your attention!

These flowers look bright, colourful and elegant. Th day temperature during the month of May was between 36 and 41 degrees celsius in our place. I do not think that these trees or shrubs received copious supply of water to stay fresh. It survived on the sub-soil water.

It is ap winter to an existential reality! Th harsh, stressful an traumatic experiences of life can bring the best out of us, if only we endure the circumstances patiently!

Yesterday there was a short breakdown of the computer system at the check in counter in the Bangalore air port. There were a few in the line in front of me who had only about an hour to board the plane. Three of them got louder and louder with their complaints and one of them moved quietly out of the scene to try his hand on the automatic checkin in machine. That too was not working. It took a while for the system to be restores. During that fifteen minutes there was an air of agitation and coma pining. But here were a few who viewed this situation with fortitude and patience. I felt that theirs was an attitude of understanding and wisdom! 

It is when things go out of hand, we are tested! We are meant to be extravagantly patient and steadfast in such situations, as all the experiences in life are the means to make us enormously gracious in stressful situations.   

When a scooterist took a turn to right abruptly without indicating the signal light, he landed in front of the car. The scooterist was abusive but the car driver looked sober and gracious!

There is no justification to be other than being patient and gracious even in difficult circumstances!
