The tree and old man 🌳

-
When an old man walked ahead he saw a tree which had no fruits on it while the spring season reached to its end . 
He was very saddened to view this but don't knew that why the tree had no fruit this year .
Then he desided to did some discussion on it with a gardner of the area where he was lived .
When old man went to the house of gardner he was shocked to saw that same species of tree here was full of fruit .
He ran back to his tree and started crying with tears in his eyes then he suddenly heard some strange voice coming out from the tree .
Tree told to old man why this year fruits had not been grow on it because last year when you had plucked the fruits from my branch you destroyed the nest of a little bird and the hive of bees .
You don't care at all in this process of plucking the fruit that you had destroyed someone's home who made with lot of efforts .
Now due to God's anger this year there was no fruit bring out on me , tree sadly told .
Old man went to the church for confession and said oh lord please forgive my all sins and I promises to you it wouldn't repeat again .
After some time when he went out of church he was astounded to view that tree had now full of fruit .
He happily returned nearby to the tree and began praising to God's mercy . 
This story gives a lesson that we should polite and kind to other creatures and always seeks mercy of the lord .

The journey of Meter gauge train used to be a world in itself. From late 80s to mid 90s when I had traveled the trains were operated with steam locomotive, then later from 1995 the train was began to operated with Ydm4 diesel locomotive  .Then two to three pairs of passenger trains and three pairs of express trains would pass through our lakhimpur railway staition which came from Bareilly, Palia and Mailani junction and reached Lucknow via Sitapur. I usually used to travel from Lakhimpur to Lucknow and return from Lucknow to Lakhimpur and it took about four hours to complete this journey as trains were often crossed due to single meter gauge railway line, which made trains had to stay at the station lying between this route . And as a crossed train passed through the station, the token is then given to the other train's loco pilot standing there and it used to move towards its destination . Between the train journey of Lucknow and Lakhimpur, it was necessary to stop every train at

In the late 80s, when I was ten years old, the birds I saw around my house I was always be curious to see them and that's how I became fond of it and established myself as a birdwatcher .   The area where I had spent my childhood was filled with a lot of species of birds and probably because of the greenery of the trees, the birds loved this area very much .  It was my pleasure to be so close to the birds but at that time it was a challenge for me to identify birds by name .

Those days I didn't need binoculars because I could see birds very close and sometimes I even took some birds in my hands but once a small bird died of suffocation in my hands, which made me very sad and this is the first time I'm telling you .  You might be surprised th

The place which I like the most and never forgotten by my mind was indeed  my birth place where I had spent almost twenty years from the Childhood to the young age and those memories always hanging around me and I have decided to filled all these remembering into the treasure of words through my blog . In my earlier blog I have been already told that the Forest colony in the Lakhimpur district of Uttar Pradesh was the place to where I gathered all the wonderful memories Since the early 1980s to the later 1999s . In fact the forest colony was the platform from where on those days I had learned how to live in the lap of nature and also how to delivered the reaction when the wild animals were very closer . It was almost the dusk time and in front of my quarter house there was a temple nearby the forest nursery where for the first time I had astounded because what I saw there was never saw before .
