Anecdote on Hibiscus

One day Shyam went to park in morning. Shyam was disturbed on separation from his dear girlfriend Tanuja. His marriage was confirmed with Madhvi. While walking, Shyam noticed that there are couple of flowers on Hibiscus plant. He plucked one flower to offer the flower to goddess Kali. The next day when he observed that the flower on the hibiscus plant withered, he related to his story of being disturbed after separation from Tanuja and sympathesized with the flower. After that day, he observed that the same flower which withered previously bloomed when it was accompanied by two other flowers. He related that event to arrival of Madhavi and her niece Akangsha in his life. That hibiscus plant gave a ray of hope to Shyam and made him optimistic.

What hibiscus plant taught Shyam about life?

Every problem has a solution just like every lock has its key.

Never lose hope. Something good will happen.

Through breakup we are directed to find something better. So, make room for what is coming.

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” — Socrates.

Breakup is a chance to find someone whom you deserve, breakup also directs towards true love.

“Pain makes you stronger, fear makes you braver, heartbreak makes you wiser.” —Drake.

 “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” – Robin Sharma

“If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.” —Paulo Coelho

No matter how bad things ended up last time know that it is not the end. We will fall in love again and this time bigger and better. Bigger and better because we have healed, we rise when we fell and now we know ourself better. We have with us the lessons the previous relationship gave and now we are more mature.

We introspected and now are a better version of ourself, we can see this the way people react to us. Just don’t go looking for love, let it find us until then be there improving ourself, following our passion. Don’t shut ourself to love, when the time comes it will hit us again.

We feel too weak to step outside and face the world, but my friend, not leaving the house for days and locking ourself alone will do no good to us. it’s time to discover ourself all over again. It’s time to discover what makes us happy, it’s to find out what we want, it’s time to do what we always wanted to do. Instead of losing ourself to loneliness, lose ourself in introspection. Be the way we want people to see us. Separation can be a great motivation to better we. Step out and go find that smile of ours.

Inspiration of platonic love from Hibiscus plant

When we are swept up in a romance, it can be tough to remember that relationships come in all shapes and sizes – they don’t always have to include makeouts and hand holding. Forge a new kind of relationship with a plant, a book, a pet – anything that lights up our heart in a real way. That’s what Shyam did with hibiscus plant.

Hibiscus plant also taught Shyam that separation break us but do remember when we fall it is not the end, we fell so that we could look at what just happened and learn from it. We may think this is the end and the love is gone, the hope is gone and there’s no more meaning to life and god forbid what not!

We’re better than this, we’re better than giving up, belief in ourself. Life is a journey through the mountains, we meet snow, desert, forest, rocks, valleys, that is how life goes on, we meet people, we feel in love, things don’t work out we break up, we struggle and we heal and again we meet someone, this goes on and on. The love it lives inside us, it doesn’t leave with our partner. In this process we learn a lot about ourself and people, we learn important life lessons. Just let the post-breakup blues give us pain but don’t ever give up.
