At first I thought of having a kitchen garden.when I went to a close by nursery to purchase few plants. seeing my interest the gardener told me to buy few flowering plants too.I did not believe much in the flowering plants to flourish because Chennai is a hotter place for such plants.But still I wanted to try it.That’s how my flowers /foliage ,garden started to grow.First few weeks I had to toil a bit ,but “without pain, no gain”.As I spent more time the plants were loyal:),by showing a good growth.When I witnessed the first bloom in my garden I had great satisfaction ,that my work had good result just in front of my eyes.

Hi vijay,
Yes life means happiness to me.
that doesn’t mean I’m put off by sadness.
I hope you are asking my comments on happiness right?
true when ever I see a flower I get an idea of a smiley with crown :) just joking.Many poets describe unfolding of a flower to smile .That’s why I tell its refreshing and positive.
