Roses among thorns

Ongoing exams.....

"I finished with six chapters, three more to go.", declares one. The one done with two chapters is now triggered to speed up. The other who hasn't started feels low. A thought - that they would never be able to equate their fellow mate holds them to kick start. Demotivated to begin. Yet another, who wants to boost their accomplishment, announces, "I completed." Many remain silent, though comparisons were happening within. 

The kind of comparisons(meant to impress) these days has always killed. I wonder if there exists a space and time where comparison builds!

every tulsi bud

blooms to express

pure fresh air —

casting away comparison

brings compassion
