And A Lotus Blooms....




Five months back I brought back a lotus plant from my trip to Magadi and made a tiny water garden for myself. For a month now there has been a bud - beautiful, perfect, growing. We have all been watching it with great interest, wonder -family, friends, neighbors. Yesterday, the bud opened! A small circular peep into the heart of the lotus - hundred petals folding over a golden, deeply fragrant heart. Whoever knew that lotus carried a fragrance, deep, and enticing, completely new, rich, and mysterious.

I am a happy person today, for a lotus blooms in my garden!
