Weeds in the Garden

Summary

This story begins by emphasizing the deep love and concern our parents have for us. They tirelessly strive to provide us with a better life and guide us towards becoming better individuals. Sometimes, they may need to raise their voices to help us realize our mistakes, but it's all rooted in their unwavering love. 

Anshuman, our protagonist, faced a similar situation with his parents. He found himself entangled in some bad habits, and despite his parents' efforts to guide him, he was adamant and refused to listen. His struggle to break free from these habits was real and relatable.

Anshuman went to stay at his grandparent's farm, and one morning, he went for a walk with his dad. His dad saw a small weed in the ground and asked his son to pluck it out, which he did with ease.

As they went forward, he found another weed that was a little bigger. His dad told him to pull this one out too, but to pull it out carefully so it wouldn't grow again, so he did. As they went ahead, they found another one, and that one was covered with weeds, so his dad asked him to pull it out. He tried but could not, so he dug around the weed and pulled it out. His dad said habits are like weeds. The longer you let them grow, the harder it is to uproot them, and his son remembered that for the rest of his life, and that one experience helped him out a lot.
