Nurturing Little things...

Fortunately or Accidently... Not sure what to say but few days back i received a plant from one of my friend when we visited their home.

I personally though liked greenery around. Growing plants and doing balcony gardening is what i too wished for. But you know, what i feel a real challenge is - Taking care of that plant.

Now when i got this little plant I thought - Poor plant, you are in wrong hands.

Still I was though excited about it. I carefully placed it near window, where it could get Sunlight. Now as i was eager to take care of the plant , I watered it daily.

The leaves of the plant started to become little black. My first heartbreak and flashback of thoughts - I know plant will not survive, coz its in wrong hands.

I called my Mom to get the opinion as she is expert in taking care of plants. She asked me if the plant is getting enough Sunlight, I said Yes. I am watering daily too.

Mom said don't water daily, check if soil is dry. If so, then only put the required amount of water. Excess of it is not good for Plants.

I waited for 1-2 days and then watered the plant little by little.

The plant looked fresh now and so was i looking at it.

I plucked out the unnecessary plants(Weeds) from the pot and also the fallen leaves.

If I would had forget to check the plant from time to time, possibly i would had seen the dried plant instead of dried leaves.

Now its been 2-3 weeks i feel so positive when I'm seeing the plant growing. The thought of plant being in wrong hands has almost vanished.

Its just a new plant and the story is quite simple and easy. But while taking its care, it reminded me the same we do with new tasks, new friendships and new relationships.

The plant was growing on its own but the little help it expected from me was watering it, proper sunlight and removing weeds. In some cases, fertilizers too. As the time passes, plant will grow huge become a tree and gift me the fruits. Then it will barely expect any nurturing from me.

Similar happens with the relationships too. Initially what is needed is Communication(Watering), Appreciation(Proper Sunight) and Clarifying doubts(removing weeds).

Same as watering, too much or No communication will unstable or dry up your relationship. Timely and deep connect is needed to check if its still sustaining or dried away.

If ever relationship is on a way to drying then make sure you seek help from the person who knows the better nourishment of it.

Now a days we fail to understand that this things matters too. Initial care is must and this little things should be nurtured.

The roots of the plant becomes a foundation and firm only when its young and small. In result to Initial Nurturing what we get as by product for long term is Understanding , Trust and Respect.

If so happens that after long term, the time comes to connect regularly that means initial care was not taken. Well, its never too late to start again.

Anyways, I'm happy and content nurturing little things for my Plant and relationship, How about you...?
