Plant a Seed, Save a Life

April 5th, 2009

Plant a SeedThe main thing that stops us doing something is not knowing how to do that thing.
Most people at today’s age are growing the temptations to do something good for the world. They are filled with ambitions, but lack the knowledge of how to make things happen. They do not know from where they should begin and how to keep things running like it should be going.

One can easily give the above excuses as reason for not doing smoothing good for the world.
However, the natural world is way different from the world we think it is. The creator has created the world and its recourses as if it is self programmed for its own activities. It will do what it is meant to do, you do not have to know how stuffs are happening, you do not have to manage them in any pints of their life cycles and you do not have to worry back again how will it survive after you have gone away from it. What you need to do is just make a beginning and doing that does not take you to be a rocket scientist to understand it, after all, you are just going to plant a seed.

If you are still illiterate about it, follow these smile steps. Walk up to your garden, make a hole pop in the sand and put the seed in it, reassemble the soil in its initial state and look at the picture on the packet to see what is going to appear. That’s it!

After you have planted the seed, you rely do not have to know how the seed germinates, or how it grows into stems and leaves. You do not have to feed it three times a day and you do not even have to run back to it all of a sudden, your seed isn’t crying!

Your absolute no knowledge on planting will have no effect on the process, it will grow up naturally, as healthy and big as like it should without any of your interference. The seed will make its own decision and do whatever it is programmed to do and it will do its best to appear same as or better than the picture you saw on the seed packet.

As an extra hand, if you want your plant to appear as the healthiest and beautiful looking plant in your block, you should try to water the plant often times. Moreover, if you have grown your plant to a certain height and see its leaves dying out, then it s signal of it calling you rot give it some water or fertile soil. You take such care of it just one day and the next day you see everything back in business. The plant looks healthy again as if nothing has happened.

You should not feel humiliated and be guilty when you see the seed is showing no response off growth in the first few weeks. You have done nothing wrong. Bu the fact is there are things happening deep into the soil. You actually do not have to keep digging the soil to watch what is happening and what its progress is. The stems and leave will pop out so; you just need to be patient.  And if you dig out your plant at regular basis to see what is happening out of sight, then you will either delay the germination process, or worse you would kill the plant!

Whatever your plans might be of planting that seed, it is making a good for everyone. Weather your plans are to achieve the plant grow exactly the one in the seed packet, or have the most beautiful plant in your society, there is always a good thing happening when you are planting a seed. Visually things might not have effect immediately, but actually, there area whole lots of process happening out of your sight.

Just when you plant that seed in your hands, things start from right then. You do not need to be a zoologist to understand what is happening, but remember that plants are the natural machines that keep the airs clean. Peels would die instead in pollutions if it not for the explants. Thus if you plan a seed, you can reduce the pollution in the world and make the world a happy and safe place to live.

So, what are you waiting for? Go and plant that seed of yours.

Quetta earthquake

January 31st, 2009

earthquake“At three minutes past on the morning of the 31st of May 1935, the irresistible processes of geological evolution caught Quetta by the throat- shook her for twenty-five vicious seconds- and left her dead. The terror sped for over seventy miles from Kalat through Mastung and Sariah, leaving in its wake broken hamlets and crushed villages.”

So begins the official report of the awful Quetta earthquake of 1935. Most people who have lived in North India know something of earthquakes; for the country all along the foot of the Himalayas, from the North-West Frontier to Assam, is subject to earth-quake shocks. These earth tremors are rarely serious. There was a bad one, however in 1905, which caused 5000 deaths. But the Quetta earthquake was without doubt the most terrible that India has known in historical times. Quetta itself was destroyed and the destruction of property and loss of life were both on a very large scale.

Now earthquakes are generally associated with volcanic eruptions. Japan is a volcanic region, and earthquakes are common there and often severe. The one in 1923 killed 99,000 people. It was an earthquake that destroyed Messina and other Sicilian towns in 1908 when the volcanoes Vesuvius and Etna were in eruption and in 1883 an earthquake sank a whole island in the Pacific during the awful eruption of Krakatoa. There is no doubt that in these and many other cases the earthquakes were caused by volcanic activity.

But India is not in the volcanic belt and there are no volcanoes in India. So Indian earthquakes cannot be volcanic earthquakes. To what cause then are they due? A phrase in the official report on the Quetta earthquake gives us a clue: “the irresistible processes of geological evolution”. Now the Himalayas are the highest range of mountains in the world and boast of the loftiest mountain Everest nearly 30,000 feet in height. Geologists tell us that it is also one of the youngest mountain ranges, much younger than the Welsh hills for example; and that it is still growing. The mass of the whole range is unthinkably enormous in its weight. Now as this enormous mass slowly lifts, there is sometimes a slight slip- a setting or readjustment. That is enough to send a tremor through all the range and the land below it. It is felt as an earthquake. It was some such slip or jerk in the “process of the geological evolution” of that part of the Himalayas, which probably caused the terrible Quetta earthquake.
