  The Followers   Behind every leader are the followers. Followers are bold and strong, unlike the meek spectators . A leader can only exist with followers; The clamor of leadership is only possible with them. Followers entrust the leader, accept him with his virtues , and ignore his vices . They strengthen the leader to lead and accomplish their goals,  visualizing their reflection in the leader. Bonds , deep like unshakable  anchors are established. Yet, a fragile relationship looms and overshadows this bond, like a dormant volcano ready to erupt at any moment when followers feel betrayal by the leader.  

  The one who over the years;             Stood strong like a mountain, Nurtured everyone’s dreams,             Invested his life in a noble cause             Pinned against all the odds             Never gave up hope             Never looked back             Took everything in his stride,             Infused vigor in everyone around him,             Is a   True visionary and a benevolent leader.

 Reciprocate Affection, love, and gratitude reciprocate goodness, anger, hatred, venom, revenge reciprocates wickedness, a monk reciprocates neutralness, Shallow heart reflects emptiness, absence of reciprocation reflects stillness of feelings.   A  naive heart absorbs wickedness and reciprocates kindness, a rejuvenated mind reciprocates a feeling of calmness, noises within are silenced to reciprocate the harmony of meditation perseverance reciprocates the end of impatience, the arrival of the kingfisher beckons luck, joy, and good fortune to come.

  Tea. Tea refreshes, Tea ignites, Tea relieves,  Tea gives, Tea takes, Tea unites, Tea energies,Tea breaks silence,Tea electrifies. Tea drains lethargy and stimulates alertness. Give and take, short conversations, relieving tiredness all happens on the tea table. Every sip ignites, refreshes and boosts energy.  Tea symbolises efficiency, efficacy, speed and activeness.  Whether hot or cold tea brings addiction and breaks silence in the air, Tea assists to make new friends and shun enemies. Tea in every form gives pleasure.

An evening by the river side. Evening has arrived  and it's the time to witness the Sun set, Worked hard during the day, now it's the time to chill and speed homewards, The birds are ready to take their last flight of the day, Flying as high they could before reaching their nests. Mother duck swims with her ducklings in the cool water. The passing clouds gaze at their reflection in the river,  Kingfisher looks for the last catch of the day in the silent river Cool breeze touches everyone,but some feel it and some ignore it. Pleasant atmosphere draws everyone towards the river side The river shines with pride and satisfies the discerning eyes.
