Once in a while a visit to native is a pleasure than a leisure. The surroundings once you are used and later missed will come back to life.
The sapling you planted might have grown beyond your shoulder, it might even started to bear fruit or even started giving you the comfort of shade.
The newly built walls might have been coated with lush green fungus and turned grey…few creepers might have crawled over them.
The windows and doors might carry fresh coat of polish.
The recent visit I was just wandering all over the plot, each every corner I am familiar. The mango trees looked very big and the mangoes looked far away and smaller in size.
We have a total of 7 mango trees and 5 of them had mangoes. Few of them are threatening the boundary walls and there were efforts to chop their heavy branches to save the walls. Seems there are only very few wood cutters around my place and hard to get them. This really saved these trees. They form a comfort zone for the birds. My mother who loves the trees, plants and birds oh forgot even cats. Her mercy has allowed the white flowering creeper to swallow the clove tree. It has really ambushed the tree totally. I could feel how suffocated the clove tree is. It looked like Greeco roman wrestling hope you got what I mean.
When I turned to the left side of the house we have a Champakka tree. This tree is awesome to watch when they flower and they bear fruit, from light to dark pink.
The soil, the shrubs, the birds, the cats, the shadows.. it’s all so refreshing… Do you all enjoy these minor things with such a depth? I wonder….!
These photos really grabs me to my native. These are very ordinary moments but the impact it creates is such nostalgic. I bet you wont be able to see what I have in mind.
I would suggest you to rewind those moments and scenes which you might have crossed over long back. Rewind them..Glance through them, I bet it will refresh you a lot ,other wise it will fade forever…!!! Some memories has to last long .. so long like the AMARON battery Ad caption… Or else you are lost in the world of madness!
