Value Nature

Image
 When I say nature what does that mean? Is it a word, or a emotion. For me nature is a word which holds many emotions in once life. Have you ever wondered what would have happened is there were no trees and plants around? A simple answer we’ll lack in oxygen. No it’s not a joke we’ll actually lack in oxygen and will suffer from various diseases.. Nature holds a important as well as integral part in once life. Nature is an inspiration for wanderers to wander, for writers to write, for musicians a story, and for me to explore. One who loves nature has already successed with all chakra control in his body. But only loving nature is not only step, learning, exploring, respecting and observing are steps to get closer to nature. Sounds simple but is most difficult to pass. Hours and hours of meditation and then the hardships will bring you one step closer to nature. The sun we see, the moon we gaze, river hitting the stone on its way and the birds we hear chirping are all essential for our

Bara Imambara

 History holds my heart so as “Lucknow” also known as “city of nawabs”. Lucknow known for it’s monumental designs and beautiful historical vibes. And there could be no better example than “Bara Imambara” also known as “Asafi Imambara” built by Nawab “Asaf ud Daula” in year 1784 along with “Rumi darwaza”. Beauty of Lucknow It was built during the time of famine as part of famine relief. Lucknow at that time suffer with drought and lack of food. Nawab offered food who worked in the constitution of Imambara. And most of people joined to build Imambara except for nobles who were left out. Nobles were given food for breaking the construction at darkness of night which was done in the morning. Hence Imambara was a source of food at that time. And our most famous cuisine “Biryani” was came into existence at that time. Biryani was known as the food of poor made from all available spices present. After some time rich people liked the flavors of biryani and it became the food of rich people.

My Opinion

 According to me historical places hold the heart of the city. Can you even imagine life without history? No not at all. But do we value the traditions marked at that place the 100 of years ago? I guess the answer is totally “NO”. Why it is no? It’s all because we don’t value the traditions. Kaha gya vo sone ki chidiya kehelane wala Bharat, kha h? I do agree after all India has gone through is totally painful the tears we hold the grave of pain inside our heart is totally desirable. But do we really value that pain.  Yes we do value that pain. But in today’s era with the growth of western culture has taken such a piece of our heart we are forgetting our own traditional culture. To become cool we spit in the historical monuments in spite of proper protocol people are brave enough to make that beautiful monument a trash. Though they can’t steal the beauty but they mess with the beauty. So I want to conclude by saying value the traditions with the western culture. Respect the cultura
