Is a tree important in your life ?


Have you ever thought about it ?

We all probably answer in NO because it is not being any important source to our daily lives.
The answer to this question is simply given by a little poor girl, who resides in a rural area. The girl named, bakhtawar met me on my visit to a village, with my family.

Poor girl was having lunch and I was sitting next to her. We were sitting outside a hut in a summery day.  As load shedding is now a daily part of Pakistanis, the electricity went off for two hours and I started talking to her about intensity of heat in these summers. The sun was so hot and sun rays was hitting earth directly. On asking about electricity and how do they sleep, in the absence of light?
Bakhtawar replied with a soft smile that we sleep so well in nights and there is no disturbance at all. I was little surprised but glad to hear from her as she felt little shy in front of me. Well, she further told me that there is a neam tree in her house which has scattered leaves, thick stem and it is huge in size. The neem tree is like air-condition to them. It gives breezy wind throughout the night and save them from hot weather in daylight.  All of the family members and even children of the neighbors sleep in the shadow of the tree. Little girl further said that neem tree is so much beneficial for them in every weather and tree is the best part of their home and we all just love it.

Her love for neem tree was so pure. By looking at her, I felt so much satisfaction and expressions of joy on her face. Then, I understand that how trees can also be so useful in fulfilling someone’s needs and of course, trees are important and are needed to be valued.

Let’s come to the beauty and uses of evergreen neem tree.

Neem tree is a symbol of health.

Neem tree is mostly famous in India but is also found in Pakistan and other places. There are countless benefits of using neem in our lives for multiple reasons. Many other names are also given to neem as “Divine tree”. It has great significance in providing beauty treatments and yes, it must be a favorite for women all over.

Hence, life is not about artificial luxuries, it is all about adaption of beautiful nature and simplicity in our lives.
