It's a great proverb of all times. It teaches us the value and power of time. It suggests that time and the ocean's tides continue their inevitable march forward without regard for any person or thing. Nothing is more precious than time. Grab it. Do not delay doing things. That tickling sound of the time never stops. It goes running. Act promptly before the opportunity is lost. It's a reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the importance of making the most of each moment. It encourages people to take action, make decisions, and seize opportunities promptly, as procrastination or delay can lead to missed chances and regrets.

Trees

  Trees are valuable and mandatory for our survival as they supply a vast amount of life essentials such as food and oxygen. In addition to these vital elements, trees provide numerous other significant benefits. To a great extent, trees are crucial keys to the existence of many living beings. They hold cultural and spiritual significance for many communities around the world. Trees enhance the beauty of landscapes and provide recreational opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and birdwatching. Therefore, higher authorities should take steps to plant trees and prevent deforestation. We breathe in pure oxygen, leaving carbon dioxide behind as it is absorbed by plants, which purifies the atmosphere. Trees help improve air quality by filtering pollutants from the air, such as particulate matter and harmful gases. Trees are one of the greenhouse gases, so to reduce global warming, each one should take steps to plant more trees, which clean the air, provide oxygen

A flower vase

The vase was placed on the reception counter, not only catching everyone's eyes with the beauty of each petal but also kept in half a jar of water to stay fresh throughout the day.

The swing

Image
"During my childhood days, behind my grandparents' house, there was a paddy field with a huge mango tree laden with mangoes. The tree stood tall at a height of 10 meters, serving as a shelter for many insects, birds, and rodents migrating from one place to another. Its branches were thick and long, a testament to its age of more than 100 years; it was like a grandmother tree to many. On one of its branches, my grandpa hung a swing made of a 2-inch-thick rope with a wooden seat for his grandchildren. Seeing it, we felt proud and enthusiastic, especially during the 2-month holiday period. Sitting or standing on the swing and looking down was an exhilarating experience. The gentle movements, the feeling of relaxation, and the overwhelming joy and happiness were unparalleled. It felt like flying in the air as the wind tousled our hair, disregarding our excited shouts. Our clothes swayed with the repetitive action of going up and down. Swinging helped strengthen our leg and arm m

It transcends the lifespan of those involved, extending even to their children. Within this bond, individuals share and support each other through both good and bad times, celebrating each other's happiness. It is a dyadic interaction wherein both members recognize each other, forming a bond of reciprocated affection.
