It was lying in open in heavy rain, She forgot to pick it up during the night. The next day when the Sun shines bright will the changes be reversed? Now that bag which hardens up after getting wet cannot be obtained back. Yes it was “a bag of cement”. The Cement which is the binding agent that’s in both concrete mix and mortar mix.

She too needs to be rock solid and become hard due to all tears she had shed to be hard in life. These tears in her life which is like a bag of cement when poured with water will not become soft or fall down. It’s something serving to unite firmly.

She will have to face the light in the darkness, she will have to become rock solid as that bag of cement. She has to give that rock solid wall to her family now, the tears have turned her hard and she has to live with it.

That bag of cement was made by grinding together limestone and clay, then heating at a temperature of 1,450°C, and then results this bag of granular substance called “clinker,” a combination of calcium, silicate, alumina and iron oxide. Yes she was also in grind of situations of life, she was heated in increasing responsibilities, she was lately powdered and scattered but she has to be strong by wetting this powder in tears and become solid to let that leaf come out with new life.

It was the time for her new role again, She wondered looking at the road, how much more she has to travel and suffer, she felt the depth o that rock solid wall in front of her, getting its finishing touches with a bag of cement. That was the silver or should i say green lining in that concrete life.
