“152 Thursday Tree Love”

“The best memories of our lives can never be captured by pictures, but by our hearts” gracious quotes.com

I was invited for a Diamond Jubilee Celebration of Vijay Marie Hospital in Hyderabad. I was glad and appreciated the person who invited me; So I was happy to attend this evening programme which began with Mass and followed by the cultural programme by the staff and students. While I sat down there I spotted this lovely tree which is older than me – I have been watching this tree since my childhood. 

This tree had memories of my mother who regularly met one of her cousin sister and her family every year and we used to gather around this tree for lunch. It was a huge Neem tree giving shade to many. This used to be during the feast of Mother Mary which falls every year on 8^th September, so for many years till my mother was alive that tree was the spot wherein she would look for her sister, and when both met – they would catch up and share food and give to all of us too.  With new clothes greeting one another, we used to enjoy the grilled/cooked chicken with roti or sometimes rice too..

I sat there watching this beautifully decorated tree –with gratitude as memories of the past were racing through my mind. I sat down completely aware and being present to this moment, which brought so much joy. I told my daughter to click this tree so I could share at TTL.
