Meet the Rockstar!
Thanakku* is her name.
She was born in the forests of Western Ghats, India and taken roots near my city house, in a nondescript street last rainy season.
One fine morning somebody dumped about a tonne of debris filled with sewage slurry.
Broken in multiple places, buried fully in the muck, she kept fighting.
Fighting she did!
When vagaries of life treated her with bonedry soil, scorching heat and absolutely no water for a month, She sends a note of resilience in the form of these lovely bunch of green leaves!
(Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to spot her!).
Her way of telling the world, 'You guys think you rock the world? Move over kiddos! I am the Rockstar here and the stage is Mine!'
Salute.
* Gyrocarpus asiaticus Wild
