Of the many wonders of the natural world, the one that occupies attention span is what seems to be the battle between man and nature.
As man goes about burning up the forests, chewing up the last available shark, and overturning the what were mountains and diverting what were waterway, nature seems to grin and bear.
Amidst man made smoke, machine finished roads, in the thick of concrete buildings, are natures signs of survival. At least that’s how they appear to me : Plants !!! These are not potted plants, grown for the sake of ‘greenery in the balcony’.
These are plants that have grown with whatever was available. Clinging to the moisture that is available on the sides of drainage pipes and spreading roots into concrete. These are not creepers. These are plants that have taken root in concrete.
And as man drains out nature’s resources, nature seems to be doing its bit by holding on to his drainage pipes. Who will have the last laugh is a laughable question. For it doesn’t have to be asked.
For now, the concrete towers seem to be rising. And the nature resides in the drainage pipe. Forests keep burning. The smoke keeps raising. And diplomats converge in the capitals of the world. And ofcourse, Our Environment is ‘debated‘.
Alls well with the world.
It Seems.
