Ek Ekar by Vyankatesh Madgulkar

What remains on the earth for a longer period of time? His deeds? No! the trees that one had planted stay forth on the earth than anything else done by a person. I never had the power which would allow me to come up with something unforgettable, good or bad! Of course, I have done some god things throughout my life. But today I truly feel that instead of my literary work much liked by all, the trees like mango and tamarind which I not just planted but nurtured as well have thrived in a better way and they will continue to adorn this mother earth for a longer period of time.’ The author has shown a wonderful side of his innovative and creative thinking, through his simple yet captivating words.
