The Guiding Tree

                                                    



Alas! The more I grow, the far I go
 
Earth is my mother; my father is the Sun
 
    Seasons are my friends who play, trouble and have fun

   Dancing feet in the song of winds is yanked to go slow.


Daddy sparkling lights; I feel fresh, on the toe, & bright

Beholden to the chirping of visitors, who always keep me alive.


Cometh a child of Adam, under the shadow of my soul

showing no purpose, embracing all that he sees 

Says, a guest is he, in need of a resting tree; I offered him the valley of peace

The giggling of baby-grasses shall admire & console.


Mamma didn't move; Daddy took to low

leaned against me as quiet as a trained crow 

My friends were welcoming, selfless, & neighborly to his show

My visitors sang for his sadness & woe. 
  

He then stood up, turned around, & looked up & down

As if something has come up after a deep drown.


Perhaps said, 'The more I was growing, the far I was going

Distance had in my eyes, not in the crown height

I leaned on my understanding supposed to be right

I shall be like this tree, which keeps growing, bestowing, & forgoing.'


Therefore, sunder them not. ignore them not

For they are one big family

In the center of whose our lives may become ugly

None can bring back Noah, but we'll be brought overwrought

And victoriously, they shall put an end to the work of applaud.

Siddharth Shukla’s Last Words

  When we go through a struggling time where we had to stand or nevertheless fight for honesty and unity alone, that whole incident overpowers us to be like a skerry of wisdom and peace which is far from the hymns of the world but represents how hard we have worked to form a deeply rooted family with patience, honesty, and a lot of sufferings, days after days. It's natural to discern an encouraging point that accumulates shattered pieces of courage in a tendency to regain strength. And borrowing humanly from a rock like man Siddharth Shukla his strenght under the imaginative influence of his personality, style, attitude, and of the fact how fiery, strong and honest he was in his conduct and deliverance, cause honest people don't speak like goats, they speak like lion, and from his courage that can even go to an extent of questioning God, and in due course, I saw his last words blazing on the embers flying in the air in a close dark room:  (Request the readers...

Why Do We Take Week-Offs On Saturdays And Sundays? Concept Of Holidays on Weekends With Exclusive Proofs Of Written Records & Reasons

To rest is to reset! Week-offs are the days when we all are set ashore to change our physical or mental ability soaked up in laziness or weariness into the renewed vitality of plunging back into the sea of life again. It's the days that we yearn for spending time with our very intimate people, socializing with friends, or travelling to desired places with the given freedom of being into ownself, and are free from being watched by the eyes calculating merits and from every political or protocolic motives of business. But, did we ever contemplate about the origin of weekly off?  What is its one and the single and perhaps the only exclusive reason?  Although being in love with the patience of its coming. Although knowing how it evolved through generations after generations all around the world. Yet, have we ever wanted to know what is the sole motive behind weekly off and who is its sole motivator?                  ...
