Class 7 Hindi - ANDHRA-PRADESH
Phool Aur Kaanta
Phool Aur Kaanta is a famous Hindi poem written by the renowned poet Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay 'Hariaudh'. The chapter explores the contrasting lives and natures of a flower and a thorn, which are born from the same stem and raised in the exact same environment. While the flower spreads fragrance, beauty, and joy to everyone, the thorn inflicts pain and pricks those who come near it. Through this beautiful metaphor, the poet teaches students important moral values about human behavior, humility, and the significance of good manners and noble actions over high birth or social status.
