जड़ की मुस्कान (Jadd ki muskaan) by Harivansh rai bachchan


One day all the parts of plant start talking and begin to boast about themselves:



Interpretation:

Stem starts to boast and derides root saying: Root has been hiding forever in the earth. I grew out and became strong

One day Branches say: Why is stem so proud.Stem has been forever where it was.It is us who have spread out in all directions, swayed with the wind.Hence we are superior.

One day Leaves laugh at Branches and say: Although branches spread out and swayed in wind But have they ever spoken? We have spoken with the wind, renewed ourselves every year, provided shade to the travelers. It is us who are truly superior.

On day  Flowers mock leaves saying: What have they actually done? They have just spawned all over. They rely on wind to speak. We have bloomed with colors, nectars and pollens. We are so much loved by bees. It is us Who are the best.

Finally, Root which has been listening all along smiles quietly.

Central Idea: People often forget the base of their success just like all parts of plant forget that root is the base of their existence.
