A garden gets a new look of brightness in the evening when the sun is about to set, which is the golden hour photography. I found these Bougainvillea plants in their exquisite colours around an oval rich green lawn. What attracted me to these flower pots was the flowers of multiple colours. Some of them had more than one colour.
It gave me an insight about the colourfulness of humans. All of us are unique because we too have multiple dimensions to our lives. Yesterday, I met a family who spend their time helping families to find accomedation when they arrive in Bangalore to live. This led them to have a wide net work of freinds, whom they help by offerign couselling in times of need. All of these are done as an act of hospitality they feel called to offer to strangers.
Often we stay away from strangers and can be inidfferent. But this family takes pleasure in reaching out to strangers. It is an exceptional vocation.
This made me pnder on the depth of humn perception. What is so human if we befreind only those whom we like or work with!
Human lives create a colourful society when we becoem neighbours to all around us in an attitude of hsopitality!
The adverse reaction to the citizenship act passed by the parlaiment recently is because there is a proposal of exclusion of one religious community from beign eligible to obtian Indian citizenship.
We are humans because we are co-pilgrims in this journey of life with a sense of mutuality and fraternity!
