Hanging drops!

I like watching this sight of dew drops hanging from the leaves in the morning. With the winter already giving way to summer heat, this might be the last time, I would see this during this season! 

The tender leaves receive the dew at night for the leaves survive the 36 degree celsius heat of the day! 

This is the cycle in nature. There is a rhythm and pattern that allows life to go on in nature!

Thousands of people who are affected by the recent amendment to the Citizens Amendment Act in india live in fear of losing their right to live in India and are now in the streets protesting against it for weeks. The government in Delhi seems to speak a language of harshness and intimidation with no invitation for dialogue or offer of review of the articles in the Act.  

A government is for all and not just for the advantage or benefit of one political party. A government is to govern the country taking in to consideration the aspirations of all people. A government needs to be seen on teh side of those who are most vulnerable. At this time, the leadership has become  prisoners of their party manifesto.  

Whether in the United States of America or in India, the political leadership is preoccupied with a partisan view of governance and not on an inclusive path to bring all sections of people to a common journey of hope and harmony!

The tender leaves survive the heat of the day because of the dew at night! Any government who is people centric would comfort its citizens who are wounded!

The hanging drops remind me of precarious and vulnerable existence! That is the story of many in India who might not have documents to prove their citizenship although they are born and live India!
