This is why I was happy on Deepavali! My garden is thriving (see background post '
Dreams'). We not only have trees, but some shrubs and creepers as well. Some are even flowering now. We also painted a few walls with jaju (geru in Hindi). The place looks attractive and children and some adults come every evening to water the plants or to just walk around.
And what's more, we also have a table tennis table in our complex. We play every day...sport is back in my life! At one time it was my life...what I am today is because of sport...a post on this later when I have some time, for this topic is very close to my heart, and it is emotionally draining to write about it. One day I will.
In the meantime, have a look at these pictures.

This is how it was when we began

Children painting the drab wall

The little ones had a great time!

Children sowing dhania and methi

Cordia has begun flowering

...and so have some others!

The inaugural match: Champ vs champ. We have ex-Champ---Coach Nagender Reddy--- and his son (Vighnay) who is the State no 1, living in our building

Dear Sadhana,
This is so great! Hats off to you for pulling this off.

Thanks, Gautham. Few will realise what this means. I am sure you do.
I've always believed that happiness is hidden in small things. Thanks for the reassurance! Lovely post!
Thank you, Mayank.
Sadhana- Now I do know why you were happy! Lovely corner- all you need is a mango tree and some koyal. It looks beautiful and artistic- My grandmother would have been delighted to see this.
