To know that you will have to read the entire story...it will be short I promise 😉.
So recently I shifted to a new place and was taken back by the garden area(I blindly said yes to the place just because it had pretty good ). It was such a huge place where I could do my farming. Yes, farming veggies and growing plants are another of my hobby which I hardly show to the world. In fact, why should I show everything to the world?
And just 4-5 days back I was supposed to travel to Bangalore. Now my veggie garden was growing wonderfully well since I was taking very good care of it like my babies. I think only plant lovers will understand what I am talking about here I did not want to extend my stay in Bangalore for the same reason I knew that given the summer heat in Goa and no water my plants would have not survived and the garden land is a little mountain area (that land is really hard if there is no water even for 1-day, plants literally get burnt - my tiny babies were at risk after all).
Still, I gave a lot of instructions to my sister about watering those plants in my absence but destiny had some other story in mind and as always she could not make it to water them. I went on my Bangalore visit and the day my sister was supposed to water the plants she got some work and she ended up not watering it. The next day again I dint reach back to Goa from Bangalore so my plants were thirsty literally for 3-4 days without a single drop of water... My heart was literally aching there thinking what might have happened to those babies?
Once my bus reached Panjim I just rushed to my 2-wheeler directly headed to the rented space and without even going to the washroom and brushing my teeth went to check on the plants. Go to see some were burnt, some were on the verge of dying? I literally felt like what have I done? How could I give life and then again let them die like this...some people will never understand this feeling for whatever reasons
Growing plants is not for the fruits or for their output or just to see the beauty but its the responsibility of taking care of one life... plants have emotions they have their own thinking ability and also a way of showing emotions... after my crying session I was telling my plants. It's my mistake and I am literally sorry for not being there, and definitely next time I will not repeat the mistake... thousand times I think I was repeating for my plants to be alive again and back in their life and this was just a tiny part of life they lived and there is whole lot life left ahead. Although I avoid showing off my emotions most of the time here I could not control it.
I watered them nicely and then went on to do my work to my surprise by evening some of them started coming back to life... and by the next day morning, even my burnt plants were standing upright. Although some of the leaves I had to cut as they were burnt...I could truly see the power of manifestation in front of my eyes...
I could not take a video of them in a pathetic condition but yes I definitely have a video of my happy plants live again do watch it.
All the tomato plants in the video were literally on the ground I felt they will never come on top but see them standing nicely and happily. Yes, some of my plants did die like palak which I had grown is not even seen in the ground, watermelon which was nicely growing is not at all seen its just dried leaves that are seen... but I am very happy that some plants are alive...
Next time I am surely going to find some way.. Or if anyone reading this blog knows a person who can take care of the garden in my absence do let me know I would be happy to hand it over to them until I come back
Cheers to life and yes thanks for reading as always 😁...
