Bonsai -- Tray Planting

Bonsai is the fine art of cultivating miniature trees. In Japanese, it is literally translated as "Tray Planting". Bonsai is the art of dwarfing trees and developing them into good, decent shape by pruning, training and re potting by applying different techniques. Bonsai is actively practiced by many. Bonsai is a hobby that allows one to be with nature constantly. The height of most bonsai range from 5 centimetres (2 in) to 1 metre (3.33 ft) and are developed from seeds or cuttings from young, stunted trees. Bonsai are often referred to as "heaven and earth in one container" since they are complete in itself but yet part of nature. Bonsai plants are positioned at the centre as center point is symbolically regarded as the meeting point of heaven and earth. If looked after properly with care, Bonsai can live for hundred years and admired by generations after generations. Bonsai, even though artificially pruned and trained, look natural and doesn't show intervention of human hands except for Chinese bonsai which are given special shapes depicting images of dragons and other symbols.

Just Being Me — A Life of Journeys, Purpose and Little Moments

A simple story of a woman who chose to live, learn, travel, grow and keep discovering herself. There are some lives that cannot be described by a job title, a designation, or a list of achievements. Mine is one of them. I am  Gayathri Raghunathan  — a professional, a traveller, a learner, a nature lover, a spiritual seeker, a homemaker, a dreamer, and above all, a woman who believes that life is meant to be experienced. I don't have a perfect life. I have a real one — filled with responsibilities, challenges, beautiful people, unexpected turns, lessons, laughter, journeys and countless little moments that have shaped who I am today. And perhaps, that is what makes my story beautiful. 🌿 A Girl Who Grew Up to Become Her Own Person Life has taught me that becoming yourself is a journey. Over the years, I have grown from someone simply moving through life's stages into a woman who understands what she values, what makes her happy and what kind of life she wants to create. I have ...
