An evening with the Empress !
I remember when we were in school we use to get some essay writing exercises and one of the topics in there was something like this.
Write an essay on “A day at the Garden”, “An evening in the Garden”.
We had a chance to actually spend an evening at the Empress Garden yesterday and I remember those school days. I thought of scribbling my experiences.
Seriously there is dirth of good Garden in this modern times. Empress Garden located near Race course in Pune hosted a flower exhibition and I can tell you it was truly an experience.
The entrance was well decorated and there were all wild animals (don’t worry they were just the statues) waiting to welcome all the guests. The little ones just freaked out looking at their favorite Elephant, Lion, Zebra and all.
The Garden was completely filled up with all different kinds of flowers and ferns. They were placed at different
locations in such a decorative manner that you simply will fall in love.
There were different kinds of competition which were held at the venue. There were artists who showed flower arrangements in Japanese style “Ikebana” . Oh ! it was so cool and looked awesome !
There were quite a few stores which were showing their flowery exhibits and selling seeds and buds.
Different kinds of water fountains added to the beauty of flowers to give it a experience of its kind.
The kids had so much fun at the various outdoor playing instruments that they chilled out.
All in all the day in proximity to nature was indeed quite refreshing experience.
