We had a huge banyan tree in our locality during our childhood. We used to believe that the tree will never die. No, not our partners or anyone told us so or made us believe that. We kids build a theory by ourselves and thought if there is something that can live forever, then it must be the tree.

Also, when we learned from our books that trees also have feelings, they can communicate in their own way; we used to be surprised how much that old tree must know!

But all of the myth broke down when the tree was cut off by the landowner almost 15 years ago. We became adults, we didn't have the same beliefs but something still aches our hearts. I know it's a lot to ask having a huge tree in the middle of the city. Cities are not the same anymore. Back then life was slow, we had a good connection with our neighbors and with nature too.

This is how life ends! Now there's a huge building in the same place. Every time I cross the street it reminds me of the same memories again and again!!

But life goes on...Just like we have lost so many friends we thought we would be friends forever. Some pass away, we don't have connections with some. And life goes on...

All these made me realize how much time we already have spent on this earth. Yeah, it sounds crazy but it's true on the other hand. We crossed our 30's, we have seen and experienced so many things. It's a wonder that we are still doing great, no?

This is what we were talking about the other day with one of my childhood friends. We were friends when we were like 6 or 7 years old. She went abroad, we lost connection, we meet each other after decades. But the memories are still alive. It felt so great to recall all those long-forgotten memories after so many days.

I went to the plant nursery yesterday and finally bought one zinnia plant. I took the photos from the place. Winter brings color to the flower plants but they still look good in monochrome, right?

Thanks for reading my post.
