Hi ArunadhriCongrats

 

Dear Srama,
Amazing, Beautiful, Cool, Delightful………all the way to Zesty!
I am referring to the jewel like prize. Just lovely.

As for the award, I am humbled. There is nothing against the entries. They are fine. I am only questioning my ownership or creation of their current status.

In another thread in IL on possessions, I wrote that in reality we do not own anything in the world. We are just lease holders. It will be the height of arrogance if I claim that I created these specimens. I was a tool, as much as the scissors, cutters, weeders and the watering can that I use for gardening. I am also the caretaker and the provider of water, occasional nutrients and even rarer pesticides. May be you can even add that I am the barber that trims the excess foliage.

It is Mother Nature in her bounty that nurtures them to grow.

I accept the award on behalf of all the participants. Curiously enough this is the first award I got in my seventy one years (My birthday was on the 28th of April). I avoid competitions. The idea of trying to show one is ahead of others is anathema to me. I took part in this just for the fun of it. Let me take it that out of the goodness of your hearts you awarded it.

Thank you.

Arunadhri
