Weeds of Hope

Probably some years down the time lane…when I look back at this time…I would laugh and say..”Oh that was also a time..when I thought that life was so difficult..”….hopefully things would be better then…ahh hope…well u cannot help but hope…and generally you hope for the better…a hungry person hopes that hopefully he would find food the other day…a poor fellow hopes of getting rich…a lonely person hopes to find company…a loser hopes to be a winner…etc..etc…

I wonder how much to hope and what to hope for?? I have been trying to find an answer to this.. I tried not being too hopeful…but didn’t succeed.. I tried shunning all hopes…but who can do that?? Even in times when I thought I would not let the flowers of hope blossom in my heart…they did…I guess they are some wild shrubs or weeds, that are so stubborn that they find their way out into this world… don’t need any care… Even when the summer heat of sorrow wilts the other plants, even when the winds of failure uproot all the other trees and plants …these weeds of hope still continue to stay alive… And in that way they still make your garden look less lifeless… these weeds sometimes bloom and give you flowers as well…not as beautiful as the flowers of success and love…but still beautiful enough.

There are times when you are so upset that you just uproot these weeds… You decide no there isn’t going to be a garden here anymore. You make the whole place concrete…and you say to yourself..”Now no hope”… but na na na…these weeds find some small little crack or a tiny opening…and greet you with their sheepish smile… told you they were stubborn!!! You don’t want these wild plants to be there at your place, but in a way you thank them..not on their face..no your ego won’t let  you do that.  On their face you say “Ohh you tiny little nemesis back again!!”, but as you pass them you smile to yourself… that’s what these shrubs do to you…they make you smile even when you don’t want them to…

But yeah I told you they are weeds. So sometimes they do damage the garden, when left for too long and when they are made to grow too big… So better take care…And boss it’s up to you to decide what you do to these weeds of hope……
