A Wild Thorn: Silent Valley

[Murali Sivaramakrishnan]

Thank you ,Sabyasachi Patra. Some experiences are too deep for tears. Some memories are so very precious to be recalled at will! Thank you for reading through! Years later when one comes across like-minded souls one feels a little less sad.
Thank you, Mrudul Godbole, for your comment. After all, any engagement with nature begins from the soul, doesn't it? We have a whole branch of academics titled under ecoaesthetics, wherein we discuss issues on eco justice movements and action.

I read your Article today and feel intensely moved and has become emotional.In the second page of my pocket diary,each year two lines from Tagore is always written:

"JIBANER DHAN KICHUI JABE NA FELA
DHULAI TADER JATA HOKE ABAHELA".......Rabindranath Tagore

It is impossible to translate Tagore keeping the spirit same and yet I am trying to do so in simple English at least for conveying the broad meaning for a wider audience:

"All that happened are Life's treasures,
Nothing(and never) will be Lost
Even when thrown into the dust
With utmost neglect (and refusal)"
