Green Inside Me

Today after reading the R.K Pachauri's statement in TOI over UN Climate Changes Report, I looked at my “Chhotu”, my roommate in the corner.
”Chhotu” has been with me for last one year.
I think it knew what i had to say, but i did not.
Sometimes when you need something from someone, you just be quite and ask it by your glance only J. He knows that I wanted something from it.
He knows that i am an incorrigible selfish as all humans.
Whenever I see it,touch it, its green shade rejuvenates me, tells me that life is beautiful.
Chhotu is my small bamboo plant.

But today I was feeling guilty.

Since my childhood I have taken so much from Mother Nature, but i hardly had thought of returning anything to it. I have huge debts to pay.
I am feeling under pressure.

Will I have to pay it by sacrificing my life, that too by getting suffocated in the dust and smoke particles?

Or by getting drowned in the floods in 2030 as I don’t know swimming too?

I get a feel of trauma when I imagine such situation.

If not then what should I do?

Since morning I have thought about it twenty times.
Many many memories are related to Mother Nature.
I still remember the days when I used to play on the green grass in my school days.
The long siesta under “Gulmohar” in my “aangan” in childhood.
Last time when spent time with my friends at "Husn-sagar" pumping station in the middle of “Thar desert” in Bikaner(my native place), keeping legs under water for hours.

When I had bath in river or when we played volley-ball on Goa beeches.

When enjoyed the rides on the curves of mountain roads on my “Renukaji” and “Vaishno Devi” trips.

When I enjoyed trekking in the dense forests of “kaiga”.

Similarly a lot of them are there in the album, very precious moments to me.
Whenever i see the pictures in my album, it still leaves smile on my face; that is the impact of Nature on me.

I think there is some Green in me too.
I have gained it from Mother Nature, when i walked bared foot on her chest.

I gained it when I saw its beauty from naked eyes.
I gained it when I listened the chirping of birds.

I gained it when I smelled the wet soil.

Being an urban legend like all of you,when i spend most of my time in front of a stupid box, i realize that I have spent very little time with Nature but whenever I remember it; I think I belong to it somewhere, somehow. I am not sure why I do feel so, but I do.

In morning when I was deep in my memories and thoughts; I heard the sound
of drops of rain and the aroma of wet soil again left me in debt.
I looked out in balcony.
It was drizzling.

No, No!!!

I think I still have time to save it.
No!
I will do it. I can do it.
I spend so much time and money to feel life easy but what if there is no life.
I will save my life and I am ready to do some of the little sacrifices.
I will hop on cycle rickshaws for shorter distances.
Though I love my bike but it doesn't that mean that I will spoil the beauty of my surroundings.
I think we all have some Green inside all of us, don't how it entered but its there in you too.

Let us extract it out and spread it again on this beautiful planet.
