Have you ever seen a life that turned heartbreak into an entire forest?
Born in Gubbi Taluk, denied schooling, married at twelve and unable to conceive, Saalumarada Thimmakka chose a different kind of motherhood. With her husband, she planted ten ficus saplings in the first year, then dozens more, then hundreds.
In a dry, unforgiving region she walked miles with buckets of water, fenced every sapling with thorny shrubs, and tended to each tree the way a mother guards her child. Together they nurtured nearly 400 banyan trees. After her husband passed away, she kept going with even more resolve.
Across eighty years she planted and cared for over 8,000 trees, saved a 70-year-old row of banyans from a highway project, and inspired children and leaders to protect the earth. Her journey from labourer to Padma Shri awardee remains one of India’s purest environmental legacies.
She passed away at the age of 114, but the rows of green she planted will keep breathing, keep reminding us that one human’s care can shape whole landscapes.

Unless one learns to live in the moment it makes absolutely no sense to continue living forever. And once you live in the moment, longevity holds little value for you.

Watching famous personalities with huge fan followings trying to trigger their fans or retail investors to invest in super risky asset classes without talking about the risks, or caring about the risk profile of those who follow them is quite disgusting. 1/2
@astrologyzone Hope you are doing well Ma'am!
