The sweet Guava Tree-
Among many trees and plants that I have planted, I love the Guava tree the most. I have planted it on one of my spare plots, although this plot of land is situated in the middle of a lovely city, but instead of turning it into a commercial asset I have planted a lot of trees on it for the love of nature in my heart.
The fruits of this tree are really very sweet even when raw. It has some magic in itself! Going to the supermarket and buying the best fruits coming from across the seas is one thing, but plucking it by your own hands and then eating is completely a different kind of experience. No, I am again not asking you to farm for yourself!
It seems like the trees respond to the love you give them. If you spend more time with them researchers show that they are happier. Now it is completely a matter of personal choice, but for me, I love being close to nature. What if by a simple random act you can do some good? How about making cities look a little greener?
I am not asking you to plant a tree because you are exploiting the resources and depleting the earth; or some kind of sacred duty that you have. But I am just asking you to try planting greenery for the love of it. But also, make a promise to take care of the saplings you plant, as an aftercare. Sometimes we get so engrossed in the hustle and bustle of the world we are living in that we forget that we could have some interests other than what a sophisticated life has to give.
Let us just give this a try!
A word from the author
Hello! Greetings to all those who made it this far! Okay, jokes apart. Thank you for clicking this book. This is my first work. I have been educated in serious fields of commerce, management and law, but science is in my blood. Science is alluring; it’s magnetic. I confess however that I am a laywoman when it comes to science and honestly speaking I have no say in literature either.
All I have is ideas that I would like to share with you. If I can make you read this, then it’s a success that someone has read it. I could be wrong when it comes to science. But it is good that you will know that. In the best case scenario, somebody would search for knowledge, validity, and corrections. In all the above cases I will be grateful!
I have written in a very plain simple language. It basically serves a segment of readers who do not wish to go into eternal stretches of tough literature. I have tried to maintain the flow of the story and I have tried to keep you from getting bored. But if you do get bored, skip some pages which are easy to do given the easy format of the book.
I have worked hard to keep it concise and easy rather than the other way around!
I would love to hear from you! Happy reading!
