IS A TREE IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE ?

Have you ever thought about it ?

We all probably answer in NO because it is not being any important source to our daily lives.
The answer to this question is simply given by a little poor girl, who resides in a rural area. The girl named, bakhtawar met me on my visit to a village, with my family.

Poor girl was having lunch and I was sitting next to her. We were sitting outside a hut in a summery day.  As load shedding is now a daily part of Pakistanis, the electricity went off for two hours and I started talking to her about intensity of heat in these summers. The sun was so hot and sun rays hit earth directly. On asking about electricity and how do they sleep, in the absence of light?
Bakhtawar replied with a soft smile that we sleep so well in nights and there is no disturbance at all. I was little surprised but glad to hear from her as she felt little shy in front of me. Well, she further told me that there is a neam tree in her house which has scattered leaves, thick stem and it is huge in size. The neem tree is like air-condition to them. It gives breezy wind throughout the night and save them from hot weather in daylight.  All of the family members and even children of the neighbors sleep in the shadow of the tree. Little girl further said that neem tree is so much beneficial for them in every weather and tree is the best part of their home and we all just love it.

Her love for neem tree was so pure. By looking at her, I felt so much satisfaction and expressions of joy on her face. Then, I understand that how trees can also be so useful in fulfilling someone’s needs and of course, trees are important and are needed to be valued.

Let’s come to the beauty and uses of evergreen neem tree.


Neem tree is a symbol of health.

Neem tree is mostly famous in India but is also found in Pakistan and other places. There are countless benefits of using neem in our lives for multiple reasons. Many other names are also given to neem as “Divine tree”. It has great significance in providing beauty treatments and yes, it must be a favorite for women all over.

Hence, life is not about artificial luxuries, it is all about adaption of beautiful nature and simplicity in our lives.

A thought for kindness


A world is present outside home,it depends on you to discover it and make it a part of your life.
                                                 

Every day teaches me great lessons of life and give answers to many unsolved riddles. I believe everyday has a story of different characters which interact with you and secretly guide to a better path. I remember the day, when I was at canteen of my university to grab some food. I was with my university fellows just around the corner of the road. As my university is one of the biggest university of Asia and that's Karachi University of Pakistan. The vehicles are allowed to travel inside the boundaries. Most of the students,employees and the residents take lift from the cars to drop them at main gate of the university. With a packet of chips and a cold drink,I was standing with my friend. At that moment,my eyes kept looking at an old aged man,who was crossing road with a help of arm stick. I tell you,he was very aged and weak. As he safely moved to the other side,I felt relaxed for a moment. 

On the other look,he was stopping cars to give him a drop to the main gate. My eyes were so straight on him and his courage to request people for a drop. I could see,he was a poor weak man who hardly managed to stand in the hot day of May. After trying for 5 to 7 minutes,no car gave a look and he felt tired and stood on a side. Quickly,I asked my friend to bring a rikshaw that was standing in a shadow and I went to talk to aged man to make him understand that rikshaw will drop you for free. He was looking towards me and before I could say anything,a car just stopped and a humble man stepped out and asked " Baba Jii Kahan Jayein Gain Aaap " (Uncle,Where do you want to go) and the weak man replied that he just want to reach at gate.


                                                        


We both felt little sad for a minute that we couldn't help him but I was glad that this wonderful world has beautiful humans who make you feel safe and are always ready to lend a helping hand towards humanity.
And the one's who ignore others are ignored by themselves.
