  • Petals of Trust 

    Petals of Trust 

    In a quaint little cottage, a world of enchanting beauty, resided a little child named Alka, blessed with the wisdom of her loving grandpa. Together, they cultivated a magical garden, where nature’s palette unfolded in a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues.

    One serene evening, as the golden sun began its descent, casting a warm glow upon the land, Alka ventured into the garden, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. Amongst the tapestry of blossoms, her gaze fixated upon a mesmerizing pink rose, its velvety petals beckoning to her like whispers from a secret realm.

    With tiny fingers, she plucked the rose from its abode, cradling its delicate beauty in her hands. Unbeknownst to her, her grandpa watched her with a twinkle in his eyes, appreciating the innocence that danced within her soul.

    “Dear Alka,” he gently spoke, “May I admire the rose for a fleeting moment?”

    Clutching the precious bloom tightly, Alka retorted, “No, it is mine! I won’t give it away.”

    Her grandpa, the paragon of patience, replied, “Indeed, my dear, it is yours to cherish. Yet, might you lend it to me for a mere minute?” And so, she surrendered a single petal, reluctantly parting with a fragment of her treasure.

    Her grandpa, adorned with wisdom, smiled tenderly and said, “Thank you, my dear.” However, he repeated his plea, requesting the rose once more. One by one, Alka relinquished additional petals, caught between her desire to keep the rose and her curiosity about her grandpa’s intentions.

    Petal by petal, until only the bare stem remained clasped within Alka’s grasp. Her heart sank, disappointment tugging at her innocent spirit. She wondered why her grandpa insisted on the entire flower.

    With a gentle touch, her grandpa lifted her chin, gazing into her eyes brimming with unshed tears. Softly, he spoke, “My dear Alka, I asked for the rose because I wished to fashion it into a splendid hair band, a crown befitting the beauty that resides within you. It would have adorned your flowing locks, reminding you of the magic we share in this garden.”

    Alka’s eyes widened, realization dawning upon her. The rose she had so ardently clung to was meant to be transformed into a wondrous symbol of love from her grandpa. Yet, in her reluctance, she had missed the opportunity to wear nature’s gift upon her head.

    In the echoes of this tender tale lies a timeless message, 

    Just as Alka learned to trust her grandpa’s intentions, we, too, are called to place our faith in the loving embrace of the Divine. When God asks for something from us, be it a possession, a dream, or a piece of our hearts, He does so not to deprive or diminish, but to create space for renewal and transformation.

    Embrace the dance of faith, for in giving everything to God, we discover that His blessings know no bounds, and His love envelops us like a gentle breeze, carrying us closer to the fulfillment of our truest purpose.

    So, dear friend who ever read this, when the Divine calls upon you, listen with an open heart, and offer your gifts without questioning. Trust him and he replaces with abundant blessings, love, growth, and a deeper connection to the beautiful symphony of life orchestrated by His divine hand.

    GOD BLESS YOU – WHOEVER READS THIS :  )

  • You win some, You lose some.

    “You win some and you lose some”, we all have heard this atleast once in our lives but Aashna experienced it first hand when she lost a close friendship but found self respect. Aashna is a college student, friendly to all and loved by everyone. However, she has a pinch of introversion, and this makes her choose her close friends very cautiously. There’s this thing about introverts. Firstly, they are not “boring”. Secondly, they don’t “talk-less”. It’s just that introverts have their own way of things, they make a few close friends who they confide in and these close friends can tell you just how chatty these introverts are. Although, in her college life, she has been a good friend to all, ready to help whenever required, and assisting whenever asked for, but she has always been very selective in choosing her close crew. But mind you, these chosen ones get all the loyalty, trust, love, and care one can get in a friendship. Aashna was lucky enough to get a few people she trusted and enjoyed with. They all shared their sorrows, struggles, and achievements with each other and enjoyed watching anime, dancing together and much more. But one day something happened that put Aashna in a position to pick a side. On one hand was friendship and on the other, self respect. You see, the one who puts in efforts in a relationship will eventually expect the same from their partner. Not just romantic, but this two-way participation is required in any relationship including family or friends. Rohan, one of Aashna’s close friends, had to give one such test of his friendship. Rohan, who has been with Aashna through the tough and fun times, but when he had to choose between her and his other gang, he without a doubt, chose them. While there isn’t a problem with having fun with your friends, Aashna knew it, she understood it, but the problem arised when Rohan sided her out and didn’t keep his contact with her. Aashna kept her cool for a while, but when the events of ignorance repeated itself again and again, she knew she had to withdraw to keep herself away from the constant pain and humiliation. “I was waiting for you every day. Each day I was holding on to the hope that you will contact me, that maybe today you’ll discuss things out. But you didn’t”, Aashna expressed her sadness. “I am sorry. I really am. They made me choose sides. They weren’t understanding my situation and I didn’t wanna lose them”, Rohan exclaimed. “They weren’t able to understand you yet you chose them, and now you want me to understand you even though you cut me off?” You see, Aashna has always been understanding, cooperative and have supported Rohan whenever it was required. But when the same person isn’t respecting your value, is sidelining you, avoiding you, without a reason, without a say in the matter; that is when Aashna understood that the connection has been cut from his side. Always remember that the one who values you will never make you feel the way Aashna felt. The one, who values you will never let you be in the dark, will never let you feel like you are lost, will never let you feel unanswered, or ignored. Aashna could’ve given him another chance, like she’s been giving to all those people who behaved the same way before, but this time she realised that she has to do better for herself. The commitment of friendship is such a simple one. You talk, you communicate, you share, you care, and you never ignore. If such simple actions cannot be shown with sincerety, then it’s not a friendship. “I am saying I am sorry. I do regret my decision. I wasn’t thinking straight. I know I did wrong, but please give me one chance. I’ll make it right this time”, pleaded Rohan. This apology meant nothing to Aashna as it only emphasized more that the decision to side with others and side-line Aashna was a conscious decision of Rohan. It wasn’t a mistake, it wasn’t a misunderstanding. It was a choice. It was then that Aashna knew that if it happened once, it can happen again. She decided then and there that she wanted to change herself for the better, that it was time she chose herself, her self respect, and her mental peace. She did not create chaos, she did not argue, she simply explained her decision to Rohan to end their friendship. She wished him the best, she wished him luck for the future and told him that she wants to start choosing herself in her life and that start has begun. So even though that day, Aashna lost a once cherished friend, but she won something much greater and that was the ability of choosing and respecting herself.
