BIG BANYAN TREE
16 Jul 2020
I
am fortunate to be living very close to agricultural university campus. The
large open space and vegetation over there attracts lot of people to go for a
walk throughout the day. I too take a stroll quite often and enjoy observing
the plants and trees growing all over the place.
There is a huge banyan tree always playing host to a large number of birds. Though I had a desire to closely observe this huge tree and flock of birds, I used to move past with a quick glance more often. The set time frame to complete the walk was acting as a hindrance.
One
day as I was walking past the huge banyan tree, I simply suspended the idea of
completing the walk within the allocated time (set by me only).
I
stood there observing the tree for a long time and it was an amazing
experience;
The
shape of the branches, the way they are spread out were all becoming clear and
vivid. A flock of parrots with their sweet chirpings flew in. One of the
parrots shooing away a myna bird was funny. Sparrows and other birds appeared
as if they were flying in a slow motion!
Among
these entire observations one turned out to be phenomenal.
The tree though appeared very dense at first
sight, the birds flying in and out of the tree maneuvering through the branches
and leaves with quite ease was an indication of
presence of space over there.
When our thoughts become dense, we feel
we do not have any way out! But however dense it may appear, there is always a
gap between them. Once we become aware of it, we start realizing the way out!

60% Trainers do not have enough job in hand.
77% Corporates find it difficult to reach to the right Trainers.
Not because of lack of Trainers. But, for the lack of connect in the market.
