Pricey vegetables bring tough time

We agree that the most recent difficult time for the common people was brought on by more expensive vegetables, which made them reflect on what our beloved everyday precious life now entails. The surprising circumstance has become a difficult period to endure. Due to several circumstances, vegetable prices are currently high in several places, including Kanpur.  Various common vegetables are now less available and more expensive because of supply chain disruptions, particularly those caused by the rainy climate. Media do not fail to report that rising vegetable prices are practically putting pressure on household finances, particularly for those with lower incomes. Prices for vegetables vary based on terrain and local market conditions, even though they are often pricey. According to the Economic Survey 2024–25, unfavourable weather conditions, such as unexpected rainfall and prolonged heatwaves, have impacted crop output and created supply shortages, which have forced prices high ...

Bottle with money plants vanishes suddenly!


Exactly it was several months ago an old lady brought a medium-sized transparent bottle having a money plant into it. She said that it was better to take this bottle as a gift to her relative living just at a distance of a few steps. It appeared the cheapest gift to her. 

In most of the trendy houses, we used to find the very plant on a wall corner either placed into a wide-mouthed glass bottle or worth seeing a superbly decorated piece of porcelain pot. It's even a fine way to take the plant to another house. 

She hoped that the plant would keep on lengthening into a lush, green oasis, but instead, the plant stagnated. This remained to be the worst thing for the plant taker. A bit astonishing point was that water and sunlight were plentiful, yet it refused to thrive, though not completely dead. 

Its fresh branches certainly continued to sprout but the plant did not attain its very much expected height. Attempts continued to be made but there was no satisfaction. 

As days continued to pass, the plant's leaves began to wilt, it seemed to be growing weak. It was as if it longed for freedom, for the earth's embrace. 

The bottle, once a symbol of prosperity, now represented confinement. The sad owner brought the bottle from the table to the balcony in the direct light of the sun. 

The leaves suddenly grew greener in the presence of other decorative leafy plants. It was satisfactory growth at least for the beholders. 

The way money plants energised under the sun's rays, it appeared quite good. One day, the plant's owner pondered, "How does it grow so leafy?" A gentle voice appeared to have whispered, "For a plant to flourish, it needs roots that delve deep, not confines that stifle its soul. But if does not get ample sunlight, it also withers. 

So, keeping the bottle in the sparkle of the sun is far better. The owner realised the mistake, and with a gentle touch, transferred the plant to a spacious space. The money plant stretched its roots, drank in the sunlight, and began to flourish. 

To the owner's utter surprise, the bottle with the money plants has vanished. In a desperate attempt to find its whereabouts, no perfect information was received. 

The space has been vacant since then and what enhanced the owner's mirth and confidence by its presence was missing for now. There was dejection all over the day and night. There was only disappointment. 

Eventually, the most prominent plants can wither if not given sufficient space and sunlight to grow. Sometimes, the very things meant to nurture can become the constraints that stifle true potential in our wordly life.
