Besides lush green landscapes of paddy fields which you cannot miss, there is another color that you will prominently notice, that is Red! Red of Bougainvillea, creeping not just in the courtyards of almost every house in that village but also along side of dirt roads leading in and out of that village. Sight of these colors was the first sign of warmth I would feel of that place.
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vine, which can be trained as bush, tree or bonsai, which has flower-like spring leaves of various colors near its actual flowers which are white. There are about 18 species of this flowering creepers. Bougainvillea are native plants of South America, from Brazil, west to Perú and south to southern Argentina . But you will see that it has very well adopted to any tropical landscape. The species of bougainvillea are very low maintenance, in terms of tolerance to drought, pollution, and is also almost pests free.
As tired as I am of this prolonged cold weather this year and as I eagerly wait for spring, recollecting some of my profound memories of one of my favourite colors of life... Bougainvilla! As i recollect this beauty, I would like to bring to you some snapshots of what a magic this species of flora can create to your landscapes and homescapes !
Beauty and Magic of Bougainvillea........... Magic that it creates throughout the year with its beautiful blooms...
Very pretty! I love bougainvilleas too! Used to have the a bush with the dark pink flowers at my parents' home in Bangalore.

ReplyDeleteFarming is the only profession where you can work 16-hour days, get sunburned in the middle of winter, and still be told you’re “living the simple life.” It’s a magical world where weather forecasts are more suspenseful than a thriller movie—will it rain, or will you just stand outside shaking your fist at the sky in frustration? Either way, Mother Nature is in charge, and she has a sense of humor.

Let’s talk about farm animals—those adorable, fluffy creatures that turn into rebellious hooligans the moment you turn your back. Chickens? Escape artists with no respect for fences. Cows? The real CEOs of the farm, casually blocking roads like they own them. And don’t even get me started on goats—those four-legged acrobats will climb on anything, including your patience.
Farming is also where advanced technology meets good old-fashioned stubbornness. Farmers can program GPS-guided tractors, monitor soil health with satellite imagery, and still fix a broken fence with nothing but baling wire and sheer determination. If farmers ever went to space, NASA would be amazed at how they could fix a rocket with duct tape and a hammer.

Then there’s the joy of growing crops, a process that requires backbreaking labor, endless weeding, and an optimistic spirit. You plant seeds with hope, nurture them with love, and then watch in horror as a single rabbit undoes three months of work in one afternoon. If farming teaches anything, it’s patience—and the importance of having a dog that actually chases pests instead of sleeping on the job.
At the end of the day, despite the unpredictable weather, mischievous animals, and never-ending work, farming is a life filled with humor, adventure, and a deep appreciation for the land. Sure, you might spend more time talking to your tractor than to actual people, but nothing beats the feeling of harvesting a field you nurtured from the ground up—except maybe a nap in the hay after all that hard work. 🌾🚜😆
