 DO IT YOURSEFLF (DIY)


Under the concept of -- “DO IT YOURSEFLF” --Hobby, I along with my wife undertook a small project to paint all the Clay Pots in our “Apartment Garden”. Prior to begin the project, we learnt the process of painting from the U-Tube. 
 
2. Accordingly, we purchased Terracotta British Paint - SHINGAR Advanced Exterior Emulsion, a brush and a few sand papers. After dusting and cleaning all the pots, these were thoroughly scrubbed with the help of sand paper so as to make the surface quite smooth. Thereafter, these pots were rinsed with water and kept in the sun to be dried up. Meanwhile, the paint was diluted with water in the ratio of 1:1. Once containers were completely dried up, these were painted with one coat of primer. These were dried up by putting them in the sun for about 5-6 hours. To give it final touch, the second coat was applied and pots were rearranged in our “Apartment Garden”. It took almost three days to complete the project. A few snaps of the project undertaken are attached hereunder.

       3. A satisfying experience, indeed, for both of us.

    DECODING----ADVANTAGES     ASSOCIATED              WITH  APARTMENT  GARDENING                                   "The glory of the gardening is hands in the   d irt,         head in the  sun and heart with nature"            Anyone who has a little bit  interest in gardening   would relish such beautiful,inspirational and movitational words. Indeed, these  words prompted me  to share my experience in the activity  and  discuss about Apartment Gardening.          1. The brief  article is simply  and exclusvely  based on our              personal experience. Since Covid period, I togetherwith my          f amily engaged   ourselves in apartment gardening,  a bit of            challenging   exercise.                                                     2. Residing in an apartment that too on 2nd floor of  society in      Gurugram, there is no  way to go for ground or terrace/roof gardening. Only option available is to resort  to container gardening. Hence, we put into use, ex

BE YOURSELF

Image
    One fine morning, my daughter along with , मेरी प्यारी नातिन,   Aadhya visited our house. Above is a snap of our cute Aadhya who is one and half year old. She was wearing a smart dress with a logo " BE YOU".  This logo prompted me to scribble a few lines on the concept -- " Be Yourself ". , Apparently, it appears to be very simple and innocuous phrase. But, you would agree, that  our experience in life is just contrary to it.  One would not deny the fact that in social  and public life, it is always tempting to compare self with others.  Instead of being true to one's core identity, fa king to be a different one is not uncommon.  Primarily because of (i) worrying about what others might think (ii) our stand may not conform to the prevalent social norms/expectations and (iii) we may become a laughing stock, at times.  Objectivity in our views : Expression of contrary views on any issue per se  is   not wrong provided these are well thought, objective and base
