Against all odds... the force of life...

I have been observing a Honge (Pongamia) sapling in our neighborhood, over the last many months. Due to construction work happening at different times around the area, it ends up getting totally crushed every time. Nothing is left of it after that, no trace at all. Anyone would think, that is the end of its life. But, it rises from the ashes every time like a phoenix. The force of resurrection from nature, makes it sprouts back with force, each time. The sapling is still alive and growing and is on its way to becoming a tree. I think, with each assault, its roots have kept on getting stronger and have gone on deeper into the soil. The force of life is so powerful than anything else!
