Dear Farhan
It's a remarkable loss of 'Sweat Peas' due to Rain. What about other flowering plants condition?

Imagine the scene

Amidst Heavy Rain....A gardener, who has asked for office leave, wearing rain coat, running around all wet and muddy to protect what he can :-).......then stops in despair, looks at the sky seeking compassion, then instantaneously vengeance overtakes......and murmurs "Tum apne teer azmao hum apne teer azmain".
is it romantic or tragic??? :lol:

Sweet peas are a tragedy while the straw flower looks quite romantic :D

Sometime back i wrote this poem and it fits here very well

God,the Dream Merchant
In you, i will infuse my soul
confer u reason to think
and then give you vision
and then to begin with in life
i will introduce you love and hope
and when i am done
" I will sell u Dreams "
the very reasons to live
reasons to reach to the end
and when you will buy some
i will give you beginner's luck
a hope, to pursue those dreams
an urge to go on and on
and then i will give you
friends, to fill your dreams
emotions, to cherish your dreams
and companions to bare your soul ( Forum members maybe :-))
i will give you money
to buy your dreams
if not money then debt
to make you worry
and work for your dream
i will confront you adversaries
to bring glory to your dreams
then i will put some sorrow
to hinder your quest
and mix some joy
to keep you alive
with a chance
so that you try
and when you are tired
i will make you sleep
so that you still dream
i will give you knowledge
to fulfill your dream
and confidence to make you believe
and then finally i will make you see
the reality, to shatter your dreams
and bring you back
to the slice of life
and when that;s over
i will wipe the slate clean
and ask you to dream on
till the life goes on
" i will sell you dreams....."!!!!!

I am not a man of words and even if I was I would still find no words worthy of praise and the way it touched my heart.
God bless you
