Life, worth the struggle

Life, worth the struggle, originally uploaded by hpnadig.

This was a shot taken at Savandurga, a fort on the outskirts of our city, Bangalore.

Taken with a point and shoot. Wish I had a DSLR then. :)

Can anyone help me recognize the leaves as to which plant this is? and how does it manage to survive on the rock?
