One solitary plant

Filed under: Uncategorized — Hrishikesh @ 20:04

Another of the queer posts today…
 
There is this empty space between the new building and the old building of my college. Turns out, the original plan was that the empty space would afford better lighting in the corridors, and the ground floor could be developed as a lawn. But, as all typical development plans tend to, the lawn has taken a back seat, and the quadrangular stretch of plot continues to remain as it was, barren and muddy brown, with some scrap thrown in here and there, and a few rain water puddles…
 
Except for this one plant that has taken firm footing bang in the center of the empty space. It is a solitary plant, about three inches high, and has exactly four leaves on two stems. I have no clue as to what species the plan belongs, or who planted it there, or if it grew all by itself, but the sight is pretty amusing…
 
ItÂ’s just one green plant, on a brown background, just sitting there, completely unconcerned (or so it seems) about what happens all around it.
 
Maybe will post some updates about it sometime later, till I leave SPCE. Maybe if no one really cares to uproot it, which I see no reason to do, some time later when I shall return to my alma-mater (Whoa, I actually called it that!), will probably find it to have grown to some appreciable size, and then will have loads of fun recollecting this post…

    Lawn? where?

    there hardly seems to be a gap enough for ME to fit, between buildings!

    To be precise, the squarish piece of free space between MM Shah’s office, the new building lift and the mini-canteen. It’s okish for a really small lawn.

    hmm……to observe a solitary plant whilst most world goes by speaks of possibly two things….introspection or boredom/loneliness.

    Since u ranted something about psychology in one of ur previous posts, heres another ….. think of the attributes u gave to the plant..thats ur perception…and a person’s perception relates to his/her own life and experiences ….. so now when I read it with this perspective….hmmm

    I will have to give you that one, revs… It just might be one of the two possible things.

    Don’t consider yourself as a part of the second group, the way you immediately went on to attack me and Enggenius in general when you were removed as a moderator showed how much you were hurt. By opening old issues and one sided opinions like the Abhijeet Maharana one, you showed you can’t remain calm. Make no mistake, I won’t forgive you for what you have done so soon. If you have 10 people reading a blog of yours, I can have 100 times the people reading my view on the issue. Only difference, I will never go on the offensive. And besides ever since you were out of there, we have 500 new members across the groups. Wonder what that proves. Am not really interested in your blog, just that enggenius on a search engine gave me your blog page again.

    Please read this for those who might wonder what Deepesh is ranting about.

    He should have commented to that post, but then again, maybe he felt too bored to hunt for it.
