Where there is a will, there is a way
See that round shape path - I set it by running here. Sometimes back, I had back pain and the doctor advised me to not run on hard surface. The surroundings in the apartment is covered with concrete bricks, so I had to find out a place. It hurts so much to be not able to find out a field today in my area - there are few private fields but then they did not agree to allow me inside. There is a stadium, which is like 10 km from my place but the communication time would be a overhead. So after few days I gave up and started running in this small area. And that is how the nice mark has been set up.
When I started running ( after coming here before a month), the place was full of flowers. The morning was really blissful - I spend almost a hour and half here. While going I would need a cap to protect my ears, but before coming, I would ensure, I have burnt enough - good sweating being the indicator. Unfortunately, the weather now a days is changing very rapidly unlike old days, when winter used to stay till end of March. As a result, the flowers in this small area have been damaged. As we are getting older, we need to realize the value of fitness - especially burning is very much necessary for people like me who do a sitting job.
We have another small area in the front, which has more trees - so as a result, flowers are still glowing there. I captured some photos when it was being set initially. Over a period of a month, it has now grown nicely giving a beautiful ambience. I present you some amazing flower photography - they will be gone soon - may be maximum a month. I tried to convince the people who are in charge of the garden, to put some all season imca in this place, but only after all these flowers fully disappear. So may be after a month, I will try to persuade them again - it will help me to reduce the size of my roof top garden as I can collect some flowers, if it works out.
These pictures will be in my memories until next year. I have worked extra hard to set up my roof top garden - some new experiments, failures and finally success. I have collected all the pictures and will share about them soon. I am planning to go to my native place for couple of weeks - to try out some activities to bring normalcy in my father. I am optimistic, the roof top garden is going to give enough flowers in my absence - my son would be in charge to water them. It will be a little extra work for him but getting fresh flowers every day without much difficulty is the pleasure - he also enjoys them now a days. This is how we teach our kids - by inspiring them with the pleasure of beauty in nature.
Nature is my valentine - we don't celebrate valentine day, instead we celebrate Parent's Worship Day - but I respect all cultures as long as they spread love. Wish you all a happy valentine day with these flowers.
