Dear members, These lines from A. Lalithamba ji, are the best we have come across to describe eFloraofIndia and it has been judged as 1st in the Contest. I am reproducing these lines again to soak in its deep inner thoughts:
The mighty river of EFI began like a tiny stream In the sacred mind of .......... to realise the dream Many great streams like ..............., ............... Merged to add vigour and colour to the flow Many a mighty and tiny flow began to join the row Thus it fertilises, satiates many inquisitive minds Without any returns; lovers of plant world find This fertile land to explore to tour to their choice To rejoice, gain something with or without thanks It is like sacred monument built with the souls Of plant lovers scientists and students from hills Of Himalayas to coast of Indian Ocean from western Desert region to eastern fertile region of this land Since the flow has completed 15 years of journey Gathered more than three thousand people Stored more than 14000 plant species in the crest Without any selfish monetary transactions The most pleasant thing is the purity of thought Nobility in actions modesty in behaviour Made it a holy place to roam to visit to enjoy! It is *Ever Flowing Independent Indian blood for good*! Thanks, Lalithamba ji, for such a masterpiece. -- With regards, J.M.Garg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "eFloraofIndia" group.
