Bouquet

The other day, when I had to leave Delhi for Bangalore, my client gave me a small farewell - where I was presented with a memento and bouquet. The memento was gift wrapped so I did not open it and put it away in my bag. The bouquet was exquisitely made with different kinds of flowers, ribbons and various other things. It looked very pretty.

I took my bag, purse and scooped up the bouquet in my hands as I walked out of the client's office. The moment I stepped on the road I saw strangers looking at me. I realized it was more towards the bouquet, rather than me! The huge, beautiful bouquet attracted people's attention towards it and then towards me.

A bouquet symbolizes that the person carrying it is either very important or has achieved something substantial or is carrying it to present it to somebody important or successful. The bouquet provides a personality which nothing else can give.

Bouquets evade our life at almost every occasion. On birthdays, marriages, marriage anniversaries, inaugurations, felicitations, farewells and many other occasions its the perfect gift to give. While visiting a patient, one may carry a bouquet (provided hospital administration permits), which will fill the white/green hospital rooms with vibrant colors. Bouquets are also given at funerals. The color, vibrancy and size of the bouquet is varied appropriately as per the occasion.

A bouquet full of beautiful flowers, leaves and other natural ingredients juxtaposed against man-made articles like ribbons, baskets etc. provides a very fresh and colorful picture. It showcases how natural beauty can be enhanced through different arrangements and man-made additions.

While I was carrying the bouquet that day to home, I picture how it would look the next day. The flowers would wilt away and the ribbons, baskets etc would go limp without the flowers. Flowers are the main character of the bouquet. A single rose flower, draped in a foil or plastic and tied with a red ribbon packs in more emotion and passion than any other gift would.

Bouquets are beautiful indeed!!!
