My Baby Green-leaves!

He says "it's amazing" almost a billion times in the class. I usually wonder whether it actually is amazing or not. For a science student, theory has always been amazing. There have been laws and concepts which have amused me time and again. But realizing the "amazing" behind the way people act and re-act, needed a lot of thinking to whether it actually is amazing or not.

Anyway, I had this assignment, where I had to plant a seed any where in public. Now, where exactly is public was my first question. Malls? Theater? Cinema? GK? Sarojini? Pubs? Discos? Parliament? where? I wanted my seed to be with the maximum public so that it could look at them and remind them of their mistake of polluting and remind me of my mistake of greeni-fying. Anyway, so I put my seed in this pot and placed the pot on the divider of a busy road.I wake up every day in the morning early to put water into my pot and reach home on time to water it again. I cross the road almost a million times in a day to see whether my pot is there or not. The baby leaves are out and my baby is growing green in the middle of the blacks (I'm not being racist here!).

It's quite difficult to see your child growing amongst his/her fears, amongst his/her enemies, amongst his/her killers and murderers. But I think I'd be able to handle it. My baby will perhaps grow stronger than the others and teach it's killers even if it has a young death. I am a proud mother and I feel very responsible. He says "amazing" almost a billion times. Maybe now I know what he means. He too is proud of something and truly is responsible for his nation-for his baby.
