A Regal Encounter in Forestrek Park



During our evening walk, Gangadhar and I noticed a peacock perched on a tree with its long tail up and head down. This enchanting scene unfolded in Forestrek Park near Chilkur, a quiet and sprawling haven for walkers, even on a hot and humid day. At first glance, the peacock looked very different, almost like a huge black object hanging from the tree. This unusual posture added to the intrigue of the sighting, making the scene even more captivating.

Expecting the peacock to fly away, I quickly drew my phone to capture the moment. To my surprise, the peacock alighted from the tree and came a bit closer, allowing me to zoom in and take a magnificent shot. He looked huge, regal, and in command, not scared or unsteady at all. It’s comforting to know that such serene places still exist in our urban landscape. The trek provided a wonderful contrast: on one side, the walk itself, and on the other, the unexpected sighting of a wild peacock.

In my garden, I found several broken stone pieces scattered, each bearing its unique shape and form. Among these stones, one caught my attention. I had recently come across a quotation online that resonated deeply with me: "In the end, we all become stories." This thought lingered, compelling me to consider how each life, if understood and articulated well, could indeed be a compelling story. I often found that my shared experiences didn’t always elicit the response I hoped for, while gossip about me seemed far more intriguing. Inspired, I decided to transform the stone into a keepsake bearing the profound quote. After cleaning it meticulously, I used liquid paint to inscribe the words. My vision was to frame this stone in a unique yet economical way. Fortunately, I found a carpenter willing to take on this unusual task. I even bundled in a few other odd jobs for him. However, when the job was completed, my excitement turned to disappointment. While fixing the stone into the

A photograph of Greenovia dodrantalis taken on the 9th of March, 2021, would capture the plant in its delicate beauty, a testament to its potential when well cared for. However, the plant's current state reflects the challenges of maintaining such a species. Despite having received good gardening support, it has not been able to thrive as it once did. This highlights the essential need for consistent care and attention, akin to the care required for children's upbringing. Neglect can cause these beautiful plants to become wild or perish, reminding us of the delicate balance needed in nurturing both plants and people. Greenovia dodrantalis, also known as Aeonium dodrantale or the Mountain Rose, is a captivating succulent plant native to the Canary Islands. With its fleshy, lime green, paddle-shaped leaves and rose-tinged edges, it resembles a rose in full bloom.
