The Triumphant Tree..

The Triumphant Tree….

Heard the tired traveller; the lonely tree saying

‘Words are noble

Intentions are nobler,

But actions are noblest.’

The man looked at the tree in amazement,

It said…

 Like your words of kindness in my praise

Yet you’ve dropped me dead.

The result of it is climate doom,

Birds and animals too, fret and fume.

Enough of your being vocal,

Expect more actions in real.

Present and future generations are in danger

All are frustrated and shout in anger,

I hang my head in shame

 For being unable to teach and tame….

Now I appeal again,

Come forward and take a vow

To save yourself by saving me

Though it is difficult to replace that lost beauty

But a stitch in time saves nine.

The man uttered in remorse

 Forgive my callousness.

I pick the scattered strands and knit my landscape again.

The tree loved to watch the man come into action,

And his fellowmen join the convention.

 

The tree stood tall smiling at his victory.

Dreaming of the returning glory.

Reminded the triumphant tree again…

Do not be in love with words or speech,

Let your actions match what you preach.

So far, you have nourished your needs,

Now give way to the noble deeds.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Agenda 2030

  The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by the UN Member States, with the purpose of ending poverty, protecting the planet earth, and guaranteeing peace and prosperity for all people by the year 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. The world leaders have a shared vision to set the world on a sustainable path to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. The COVID-19 pandemic is, however, disrupting the key goal “leave no one behind” by its constantly growing dangers through inequalities around income, wealth, access to quality education, water, and sanitation, health and other social services. The global community finds itself in an unprecedented situation where parallel threats of health, economic and social crisis have left countries struggling to contain the epidemi...

World Environment Day

  Let us heal nature as nature heals us- open your spirits, keep it clean, serve it nutrition , make it beautiful, develop a relationship of love and care.’ What kind of planet do we humans wish to have ? This is a question we need to answer ourselves. No one can teach us what we most need to know about nature and how to value it. We ourselves need to know how honest we need to be in our thoughts and actions. Nature provides us all with so many wonderful and useful things from beautiful sights to food and shelter, and awareness to maintain and sustain life on this planet. Mother Nature works relentlessly to ensure that life exists with its variety in abundance. As a result, our behaviour must support positive outcomes on nature for it to thrive and survive too. The plenty in nature is directly proportional to plenteous in our lives. However, unintentionally, we have made the most detrimental impact on the environment. Life is chemistry, and a chain of bio-chemical achievemen...

COVID‐19 and Children

Did you notice that the letter ‘C’ has shot to prominence and brought a sea of change in the lives of children through this Covid -19? Millions of children have been adversely affected by the COVID‐19 pandemic. They have become vulnerable and sensitive to the changes around them which they had never seen or experienced. Words like coronavirus, cases, confirmed, confinement, containment, curfew, chloroquine, cemetery, crematorium have suddenly been most heard and used changing their world completely. The closing down of schools has impacted them by confining them within the four walls of their houses and exposing them to the uncertainties, traumas of seeing the loved ones in the grip of the fatal disease and perhaps also losing at them at times. Fears, anxieties, and uncertainties have surrounded them, leaving them to learn some very heavy lessons.   The innocent souls who were opening their wings to take flight have been severed by this pandemic. Isolation, physical distance, a...
