Basant Panchami

 Basant Panchami is a vibrant and joyous Hindu festival that marks the arrival of spring. It typically falls in late January or early February, on the fifth day of the Magha month of the lunar calendar. This day is dedicated to Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music, arts, and wisdom.

On Basant Panchami, people celebrate by wearing yellow, a color associated with the season of spring, symbolizing prosperity and harmony. Devotees often worship Goddess Saraswati, particularly students and artists, seeking blessings for success in their pursuits. In some regions, the festival is also associated with kite flying, singing, and dancing, making it a fun and lively occasion.

The importance of Basant Panchami lies in its celebration of renewal, learning, and creativity, as well as its cultural significance in marking the change of seasons. It encourages people to embrace new beginnings and the beauty of nature.

The Few Who Understand

Every day, we meet hundreds of people who wish us hello, hi, and bye. However, there are only a few people who can understand us in our lows and highs. In the noise of the crowd, we often feel lost, drifting through faces, but paying the cost. We share fleeting moments, brief as a sigh, yet crave that connection that reaches the sky. Some offer a smile, while others just stare, but only a few truly show that they care. They listen intently, with hearts open wide, inviting us in, letting feelings collide. Through laughter and sorrow, they walk by our side, their presence a comfort, our fears set aside. So let us treasure those who see through the haze, for they are the light that brightens our days.

In My Garden - A Poem

In my garden, I see life begin to bloom, God’s creation gently rising from the gloom. With colors so vibrant and scents that delight, Nature awakens in the warm morning light. I rise from the ground, becoming a plant, With sunlight, water, and air, I enchant. I take birth in a world that can sometimes be unfair, Yet I’m nurtured with love, care, and affection rare. Though sometimes it feels like love’s just a show, I strive to grow strong and let my true colours show. Capable of making my own food with ease, As I grow tall, I offer shade and peace. I’ve witnessed emotions, both joy and pain, I hold cherished memories like drops of rain. Called a 'Blessed Tree,' I provide shelter so deep, In a world that feels bleak, I guard dreams as they sleep. Surrounded by plants, I watch children play, Listening to laughter as they learn every day. Nurtured by gratitude and affection's bright light, The flowers are children; I bloom with delight.
