I got some plants from my mausi today! (mausi = mom's sis)
I have spent an hour with my mum potting them and repotting the old ones we had. I don't remember another time when I felt so satisfied with a project. There is something about taking care of a plant like no other. With a pet like a dog or cat, u just need to love, feed, walk and vaccinate them, besides the occassional grooming, and training. But a plant is so much different. One just can't water a plant and think, "Oh well! That's done with!" There is potting, feeding, watering, misting, light and so much more to taking care of a plant. I would say that taking care of a dog would require less of me personally than keeping a plant alive and thriving.
I have been coming up with fantastical notions of how to get some greenery around. And ever since the news headline read "Humans Have 10 More Years to Save the Earth," my grey cells have put every other thought on a hold. It was very difficult to write my research paper proposals and the last short paper for submission!
Nowadays, I am less stressed. I have only 2 long papers to give in by 15th of July, the NET on 29th of June, and that is all. Ergo, I am embarking on my green projects now. The plants look adorable right now! Photos later!
Save the Turtle!

Ten years to save the earth, that's been running in my head since I saw this post some time back. Was going to post something on World Environment Day because it hit me hard then, what with all the media coverage. But I guess saving the earth is going to have to be something that we consistently put our efforts into, every single day... it's sometimes hard to think that the little things that you do can actually make a difference in the light of the big picture... I wallow in green depression then. But taking a leaf from your book, yeah, plastic re-use! That's gotta be worth something.
