My little Green Paradise

My little Green Paradise

Hello,

I know I am posting something after quite a long time, well, almost after a year and a half. There are many reasons (of course silly ones) and I don't want to spend time discussing them over here. The important thing is, finally, I am writing again. 

As the DSLR dream seemed distant, I had to keep my creative juices flowing in some way or the other. Inspired from a friend Yashoda, I got attracted towards terrace gardening. The other reason behind this attraction was my new apartment, it also has got quite a big balcony. So, I decided to develop a garden on it on my own.

I did many experiments in the garden and have learned a lot over the period of a year. Here are the fruits of the patience kept over a year. This summer the garden bloomed like never before, thus providing me an opportunity to ring the bell to the photographer sleeping inside for quite a while.

So, have a look and please don't mind the quality of some of the photos, they are taken by my poor cell phone camera:

Before and After

There would hardly be a gardener who don't like to have a hanging in his garden, I am no exception.

 

A regular visitor to the garden..

 

Oh, did I mention I also frequently see Purple rumpled Sun bird, Red Vented Bulbul, Myna, House Sparrow and Magpie robin in the garden?

As someone has said correctly, "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need". It's so true! Although I don't have a library apart from some dozens of books, the garden does fill the emptiness that I feel many times out of frustrations. This garden has shown me a new way to keep aside all the worries and look at them with completely different perspective. 

Many a times I go to the balcony with lots of sick thoughts, but hardly there would be a time when I'd return with the same thoughts, and that's what one would expect from a paradise, right? 

I hope you liked the tour through my little garden and a little ride in train of my thoughts, do keep posting your comments as it would inspire me to keep sharing my thoughts and photos.
