At the Jain residence, the entire family loves spending time in their lush green lawn. The garden has many interesting corners - there is a small hut for meditation and yoga and little mushroom-shaped fountains in a bright nook. Adding to the charm are bright full-bloom chrysanthemums, making the lawn a place of pride.
The family used to earlier reside near Subhani Building and due to shortage of space, could never develop a garden. Moving to BRS Nagar finally made them realize their dream and after shifting to the G block in 1986, the first thing that they did was plant a little lawn in front.
The younger son of the family, Amit, said, "When we were kids, we either used to go to Rose Garden or Rakh Bagh to spend some time amid nature. So having a garden at home was everybody's deeply rooted desire.''
While the elders soak in peace and tranquillity in the lawn, the four kids of the house love playing football there. "Every morning and evening, I meditate in the garden. Sometimes, my daughter-in-law also joins me for light yoga,'' said Amit's mother, Sushma. "We have planted chrysanthemum because there are children in the house and they spoil the flower beds,'' laughed Preeti, the elder daughter-in-law who teaches at Drishti School.
Often accompanying the family in the lawn is their 9-year-old dog, who often lazes on the grass and soaks in the winter sun. "Our evening tea is also enjoyed in the garden... this is the place where we all bond and share a good laugh,'' Preeti added.
