A rotten brinjal

Image
Hi folks,  Today I bring to you a very beautiful story of a rotten brinjal. Often I buy lots of vegetables and put them in the refrigerator. Most of the time there are some of them spoiled. What I did is just throw it away. This rotten brinjal took a special place and taught me a lesson for life.  I threw this one in my backyard and totally forgot🀷‍♀️ After a week when I went there to clean some dried out leaves, found this still lying there, changed in colour and somewhat dried out😐 Felt sympatheticπŸ™ To my surprise I thought for a while to pick it up and observe. This is what I found inside its tummy.  I was amazed to see the amount of seeds expressing themselves and kinda showing off. It doesn't seem like this when the vegetable is fresh.πŸ€”πŸ€” It strike my mind, one rotten brinjal has hundreds of life source inside. Apparently not all the seeds sprout but they are prepared for it πŸ‘ πŸ‘πŸ‘ What beauty the nature has to share. One life about to die prepares itself to be the source
