Standing Tall

Recently I got a mail from my cousin. He just send me a couple of pics of our old home in our village, until then I almost forgot that we had a home in our village. Nobody stays there. Everybody moved out from our village mainly due to their occupation. As far as I can remember, the last time I have visited this home is about 15 years ago. Well,I guess, it is around this time, it has turned from home to house. But out of curiosity, I decided to dig-in the history behind our home.

Who else is the better person to start with ?? . Of course, my dad. As far as my dad can remember, this house is more than 120 years old. This house has helped in the prosperity of seven generations in our family. There is a Almond tree planted at the time of birth of my father, which is now as old as my father. I was quite amazed by these facts.

Suddenly I realized, this house alone stood as a silence witness to the birth, the death , the sorrow, the joy and prosperity of our entire family for more than a century. How amazing!!!. I guess it must be really hard for a human to take.

The second picture remained me as someone said, all good things must come to an end. Now this is the pathetic condition it is now into.

I wonder what it must be pondering if it was to be a living being .
'I have given shelter from sun, rain,cold and diseases for these humans for quite a long time. I have protected their hard -earned wealth, which helped them to prosper. It is on my laps these childrens have played and so on . I stood for these humans . Now at the time, I feel weak, nobody is around for me . Is this is what you humans are going to pay me back for what I have done for you? '

I have no answer to this question...

Are we humans to be blamed for or else these ' Living beings' for expecting too much from humans....

I guess nature works its own way to complete the cycle of life.

I dedicate my blog for this monument of our family....
