This photograph of possibly a homemade gajra, was posted by my friend Anita Iyer, who is the Founder, Managing Trustee, and Volunteer-in-Chief of the Ekansh Trust .
Ekansh Trust, is an organization, that works for folks with disabilities, particularly, where their , public awareness, acceptance, sensitization and inclusion is concerned, and also provides a platform where Equal Opportunity Employers and folks with disabilities may interact . Anita, was recently awarded the World Women Leadership Award in the Super Achiever Category at Mumbai, Taj Land's End in a glittering ceremony on 14th February, 2014.
I thought this gajra of not so perfect, but immensely fragrant flowers , had something to say...
A few with spots,
A few with torn petals,
A few,
older and a bit bent
and shriveled,
some even with
cuts on their stems,
that happened
during a hurried harvesting.
But they know,
that hanging out together
connected by
responsible threads,
empowers them
as so many
vie for them,
in baskets
of the real world....
