“The art of
being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things”
I
visited Anjana Ram from the YWCA of
Secunderabad, one of our dynamic youth member as she was leaving the
country for further studies. I stopped by her place to appreciate her and bid her
good bye.
What I saw filled me with happiness. A well kept small little garden within the compound, right on the main road… I saw these trees maintained so well. I clicked pictures ..… surrounding myself with green energizes me so I created a memory for myself.
Today as I post this tree love – my heart feels burdened and painful as I keep watching the news and getting updates on whatsapp about our neighboring state Kerala which is in crisis because of floods. It was such a pathetic sight to watch the tree falls and the landslides giving rise to anxiety and fear as I watched it helplessly a few videos and forwards.
At
the same time I am also overwhelmed by
the responses of the various groups, NGO’s Religious groups, Institutions and celebrities
coming together to do their part in reaching out to lakhs of people being
displaced and those who have lost their lives.
Let us pray for Kerala and do whatever we can to help them rebuild their
lives.
