I live in modern day apartments...so where's the question of having a garden?? Good point...but i have an interesting answer...
I was watching this debate on TV about beauty being skin deep..it was very thought provoking.Though i've always maintained that more than just superficial attractiveness its important to be beautiful inside..it sounds cliched as many people say that but nobody ever mentions how can one achieve that elusive "inner beauty"I gave it a thought and came up with a solution..."Garden" now one can wonder what a garden has got to do with it...but it does..coz i'm not talkin abt any ordinary garden...its a very special one..a garden which everyone can build and nurture even the ones living in apartments like me...how?...simple..
When we enter a garden,we are surrounded by many kinds of plants..in the same way just imagine that u have garden inside your mind where instead of plants there are several different thoughts and feelings...each different thought represents a plant...Now its upto you as to what kind of plants would u like to have in your garden..and once you decide you'll be surprised how many possibilities u can come up with...sounds confusing?...let me give u glimpse of my garden...
Its a very interesting garden coz u'll find all kinds of plants(thoughts)..I, being a typical Aquarian, am very unpredictable...i keenly observe the feelings of people and try to comprehend their various reactions to different kinds of situations...and this has helped me in being less judgemental , more understanding and tolerent.Its not easy, but i try, as i dont want any bad plants in my garden..Then there is this side of me that's still a child who loves cartoons,ice creams,choclates and nursery rhymes..(i hum nursery rhymes when i'm alone)...And there is this part where i'm like any other typical teenager doing everything that any ordinary person my age would do for example listen to music...now music is a huge amalgamation of various genres as i listen to any kind of music depending on my mood...
So on and so forth...mind u, i havent shown the whole garden as its too huge and yes, too personal.I am an assortment of several different thoughts, emotions,dreams and ambitions.
So this is how you build a garden,a garden which is full of lovely plants it could be flowering plants or cactii..the choice is yours...but remember it needs a lot of care and nurture and then one day it will transform into something truly beautiful and bring you true happiness..
Happy gardening...
