Nothing but concrete!

Today as i was going through one of my friends albums i saw the beautiful pics she took of her home and her garden. I was so envious. i had a garden like that in my old home "Geethavan". I missing it very much.My parents worked hard on that garden going to different nurseries and carefully selecting the plants they wanted on their garden. It was really beautiful. It gave a refreshing look to the old antique home of ours.they both complemented each other.There used to be a corner of the garden which i used to go and sit in. It was surrounded by the guava tree and many creeper amidst which there was a rock. there i used to go and sit and organise my thoughts. there was the the mango tree, the jaathika tree, the coconut tree and many varities of palms like feather palm. champagne palm, red palm etc. There were numerous begonias and crotons, cactii, peperomia,orchid etc. It was our beautiful garden.

But all that is now gone. There is just a barren untended ground there now. Remenants of a past soon to be forgotten.(sigh). Even though they remain fresh in my memory i cant produce an exact image of it to other. In this flat you can only see the endless sky. It is beautiful yet the greenery is lacking. I cant smell the parched ground when the rain falls on it, i cant see the new blossoms of the plant enjoying the spring, i cant feel the millions of droplets of rain coming down on me when we shake a tree after the rain...i cant feel close to the nature like i used to before. all i see is concrete structures rising to our level obstructing the beautiful view of the endless sky. i feel sad about that one fact!!
