A sad departure

I love earth and I love trees, really... I like gardening but can’t give it much time because of the hectic job and night shift and my long sleeping hours (my regular excuse).

I have a big house with lot of gardening space so when we shifted to New Bombay, me and my kid brother did not have many friends to play with so we used grow plants and make mud houses (sounds funny.. isnt it) Then my dad bought a plant which had just 4 leaves it was the almond plant, so my kid bro and me planted that plant as far as I remember we did that during the rains so that we don’t have to water it every day, seasons went away, we grew up and the plant grew twice faster, it became a shrub and a full brown tree, soon enough it started giving the almond fruits and my noisy neighborhood’s noisy kids used to throw stones and eat the almonds, people used to relax underneath the tree in summers, it provided shed in rains, it almost covers our entire house, (sounds like a story)

From a plant to a shrub to a fruit bearing tree to birds nest to a Landmark for new people the tree was all of it … last year in rains there was a big storm that hit Airoli which shattered almost 8 trees in our area, ours was one of them and it almost fell on my neighbor, he created a scene claimed that he might have died (yeah right with one branch falling on his head). This out broke a revolt in the other people and they demanded the tree to be cut off as it can fall on any kids that play there. (Did I mention we have Kids available in all sizes) well that was true and not alter then an hour the municipal van came with few woodcutters and not less in 15 minutes my tree was down on the road.. I felt so bad as a family member went away, my brother was so sad that he did not eat his lunch that day,
The whole tree was not uprooted the trunk still remained, now lately while the construction (at home) my dad decided to get off the garden and cover the garden space with Tiles… we tried to remove the remains of the tree which would not sound like a very big job but it took 3 days and 4 workers trying for 3 hours morning and 3 hours at evening to remove the tree… why the gap because the exhausted the energy every time they tried to remove it, it seemed like the tree was adamant and did not want to leave the space, I could never imagine that getting rid of a tree would be so painful.

Finally Daddy bought the machine Saw and chopped it off, and then it lay down on the footpath, but I felt that the tree really did not want to leave, a sad departure to a family member

I will certainly miss him

My Super Women

I woke a little late today reason; My phone buzzing all the time and also my Dad as he is at home is planning to renew the interior decor and not just the wallpapers this time its gonna be with glass painted doors and False ceilings and stuff, so the contractors kept on visiting him with all quotations and various offers,

In middle of all this my mum kept telling them to come after I leave for office and she was also taking care of laundry, cooking, cleaning and reminding every one to keep silence, when I woke up it was 1.5 hours for my cab to arrive so as usual I chatted with her about office yesterday other neighborhood gossip, she remained me that I have to buy a dress for SOB Queen’s BIG day and also pay the credit card dew, she reminded me of 10 other things that we do every month but I never remember …

When mommy was not here for about a month I had a real hard time with everything and just everything and now she is back I realize how important part of my life she is.

This always happens when mummy does not cook our favorite dish we yell at her but we don't thank her for what she has cooked, we never thank her for the things she does to make us fell comfortable and when she takes care of us when she is unwell. she celebrates our successes and is the first one to comfort us in our failures, she is my strength when I really need her. she believes in me more than I do, she think about me lot before herself.

she is a superwoman I love her and I don't need a Mothers day to let her know about this :D
