In my childhood, I had a habit of going out of the house in the evening and spend atleast an hour capturing and admiring at the beautiful nature. I enjoyed seeing the dancing trees all over when the peacegiving wind blew, I observed the flowers be it very tiny or a big bloom very carefully, those tiny mosses in damp areas which were hard to observe but looked so beautiful grooming together and specially, in rainy seasons those droplets on the flowers and leaves and grasses just gave me so much of light in my eyes and a heartfelt happiness. I love to watch the nature miracles since birth. Now, my nature time also included watching of tiny little creatures on the ground. Ant's were one my favourite interests.
Before our current house, the house where we lived in had a big garden. In that garden, ant's had a huge population, where ever you would go you could see tiny holes in the ground and the ant's doing there jobs in a que. At first I just sat down and observed the ant's very carefully. I saw what they used to carry as their food, even what I did was, slowly I would take off the food from them and examine that actually what was that stuff. The black ants were which I observed and they mostly carried very tiny little grain sort of thing and sometimes white small worms also. After observation of few days, I thought of helping them with some sugar. Then everyday I went out with some sugar and I dropped it equally in each and every hole of the garden. It gave me so much of happiness when the ants carried the sugar cubes into their holes. All summer's had the same evening for me. Then came the rainy season. When you will hear about this I'm sure you are going to laugh at me badly. I thought it is going to rain and the ant's will lose their homes. Water is going to fill in and everything whatever they had collected to eat would be lost. I thought of many ways of protecting their homes but whatever I thought would stop me from implementing those because of lack of stuffs. At last I had an idea to cover all the holes with 3 to 4 leaves and then put tiny rocks over the leaves so that it does not displaces. So whenever, the weather hinted to rain I picked up the little ants slightly and put them into their holes, it took me hours to do so but I did until it started raining though it was not possible for me to put all the ants in, then I used to cover all the holes of the garden. The rain came, and washed away all my hard work. Everyday it would happen the same thing, after doing so much of things, I would not find the holes the other day. The scenario after the rain broke my spirit off until I came across geography😅. Before that, I never actually understood that why and how did the water washed away their homes. Geography was what made me realise the miraculous talks of nature.
