#ThursdayTreeLove – 72

While on the road one day in Bangalore, I crossed this bridge and realized that though the city has changed as it grew, in some ways it’s the same. The street vendors, the old trees, the colorful mini-trucks and the people. It’s the soul that’s the same though how it looks is now different.

Isn’t that true of us too?

We change with age and experiences but at the core, we are the same who we once were.

Thursday Tree love is a photo feature on this blog hosted on 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. The next edition will be live on October 10, 2019. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link it back to this post.

If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.

  2. Such majestic trees are becoming a rare scene as the city grows, but yes, the core essence remains the same. I feel your observation is truer in us,humans’ case – even with all the evolutionary changes we undergo in our thoughts and external appearances, our core values never change much. Here is one reminder from me – don’t think too much while crossing the road or a bridge, pay attention to the traffic as well. 😉
    Finally, I am joining this week for ThursdayTreeLove after a long break.

  13. Beautiful thought, Parul. I couldn’t agree more…the spirit of the city remains the same although I feel sad to see the green cover slowly disappearing and being replaced by a dust cover everywhere! The tree-lined roads are fast becoming history and yet, Bangalore remains home to me and millions who, like me, now live here long enough to become inseparable from it. So well put, Parul.

    Here’s my post for this week’s #TTL:

  18. Trees help us in so many ways – like providing oxygen crucial for or physical survival, shade, fruit, and they help us stay in touch with our souls. Your words and photo show this. I hope to add a Tree Love post next time.
