August is a special month – it is the celebration of “Friendship”, as we celebrate “Friendship Day” on the first Sunday of August. Friends – the ones that count and stand the test of time, always go beyond what can be defined as merely a bond between two people. Trying to set a boundary for it may not be a great idea as it will be like trying to pack air around me in a bottle. The way I like to cherish my most treasured friendship is by saying it with flowers. It feels nice to say “I care, yes I do” when i say it with flowers . Talking of flowers, Gladiolus and Poppy are the birth flowers of the month.If you have noticed, Gladiolus leaves are shaped like a sword & its name is derived from the Latin word gladius, which translates to “sword”. Gladiolus flowers stand for several meanings, what I like the most are “strength” and “Integrity”. The foundation of my belief system is driven by “Integrity” and I draw strength from the natural world to live up to the standards that I have set from myself. I hope that every turn in life will be a moment where I can only raise the bar for myself.
