Preserving Something Beautiful

 

On the 27th of September as I was going back from college to my hostel with some of my friends, we stopped at the roadside as some of them wanted to visit the newly established skateboard center. They went to check out the place, but as I was not feeling so well, I decided to stay back. As I stood there waiting for them and admiring the cosmos, I thought to myself, "This would be the last time that I'll be able to witness this beautiful scenario. If only I could do something to make myself remember this beautiful time". As I was having this conversation with myself, a thought ran through my mind. 

And........ this is what I came up with. This process is known as Herbarium. 

Herbarium is a process where the plant species are collected then dried, pressed and then they are preserved on sheets. This process is usually used for scientific research for studying the plant species. 

Since I don't have the proper equipment for it, I just used my notebook and some books to apply pressure on the copy so that the flowers get pressed properly. So now I have something that would not only remind me of the beautiful scenario that I witnessed, but it'll also remind me of the time, the moment and the people attached with it.

That's it for now.
