Bloom

Opening your window in the morning to the sight of fiery bright flowers and green leaves is a moment of a lifetime. For some reason, it gives a lot of hope and cheerfulness. The laden tree with scarlet bright flowers is quite a site to behold.
 
Nothing is more uplifting than the sight of these flowers midst grey weather. When the skies start to grey, the winds begin to cool and climate remains sultry, the its petals unfold brightly on the trees and fall bravely on the ground.

Announcing the monsoon in wait, its colors are a harbinger of good times to come. A respite from heat, and relief from drought, the bright colors portray life and the vibrancy. Akin to bright vermillon and its sacred purpose, gulmohar has a reason of its own to live and thrive.

One of most beautiful sights and smells of this season is the gentle drizzle of rain, dampened earth and the wet petals of Gulmohar flowers strewn on the asphalt road. Midst the gray weather and grey asphalt lie hundreds of scarlet lives. They not only seem alive but bring everything around to life.

It is amazing how it brings back a sea-tide of memories for almost everyone. Childhood spent hiding behind its tree trunks and climbing some of its stronger branches, plucking the red flowers, dismantling the flower buds to make spooky nail extensions, anthers in lock-fighting, to simply having the flowers in hands… the memories are endless.

The flamboyant flower with flaming glory holds and beholds many untold stories. When it blooms, you will feel that earth laughs in flowers.

Gone are the heat spells. Cool winds now cooleth the soul. It is gulmohar galore. Everywhere.

Always respect the people working around you. The cleaning staff, the office boy, the juniors, the managers and so on... Everyone works the same amount as you. They are all there the same number of hours. They all have duties and families to provide for. No one is better than the other. No one is married to their title.  Titles come and go. We are all working out of our comfort zones and would rather be with our families, therefore, you should always try to provide a good working environment to those around you. #Goodthoughts #balance #respect

Embrace

When you find people who unconditionally take you as you are, hold onto them so very tight. They're the ones who don't mind if you're having a bad day, they'll stay with you anyways. They're the ones who care about how you're really feeling, even when your words are stuck inside you. They're the people you can talk to without worrying about what they'll think; they take you as you are regardless. Make sure that whenever you find people like this, you keep them close. And whenever you get the chance, be one of them too.

Stories

The thing about stories is that All of us carry a story inside of us. Some are born and live their existences in between the pen's ink and the paper's skin, while some rust away in the crevices of our minds, the layers of our soul and the dried ink of an untouched pen upon an abandoned piece of paper.  But then again, Not all stories are meant to be told. And some are born just to die, like distant stars of yore.
