Why do I have a garden in my backyard?

In a world where everything seems to move at a rapid pace, why do I have a garden in my backyard? This question often crosses my mind as I watch the hustle and bustle of the city from the tranquility of my little patch of green.

As a humble, simple man from a small town in Uttar Pradesh, I was always surrounded by farmland, plants, and trees that encapsulated my entire childhood. The mossy soil, long branches, and deep roots were an integral part of my upbringing. They provided shade and shelter, and their presence brought a sense of peace and connectedness to the world around me.

When life led me to the city, away from the familiar fields and open spaces, I felt a longing for that connection to nature. Amidst the concrete and noise, I yearned for the serenity that only nature can provide. That's when I decided to create a garden in my backyard.

In that small space, I nurtured plants and cultivated a haven of greenery. Each morning, as I stepped outside, the gentle fragrance of blooming flowers greeted me. The leaves rustled in the breeze, whispering secrets of the natural world. I watched in awe as butterflies fluttered from blossom to blossom, and birds sang their melodious songs.

My garden became more than just a collection of plants; it became my sanctuary. It was a place where I could escape the chaos of the outside world and find solace in the beauty of nature. I learned patience as I tended to my plants, watching them grow and flourish with each passing day.

But my garden had a deeper significance. It served as a reminder of my roots, a connection to the land I had left behind. It brought back memories of my father, planting that mango tree in front of our humble home and watching it grow alongside me. Although that tree was taken down, I carried its spirit within me, nurturing the seeds of my past and allowing them to bloom in my urban oasis.

In a world driven by instant gratification and virtual experiences, my garden grounded me. It reminded me of the importance of patience, nurturing, and the cycles of life. It taught me that amidst the chaos, there is always a place for stillness and growth.

So, why do I have a garden in my backyard? Because it is a testament to my journey, a symbol of my connection to nature, and a sanctuary that restores my soul. It is a reminder that no matter where life takes us, we can always find a piece of our roots and create our own haven of tranquility.

And in this fast-paced world, I invite you to take a moment, and consider building a small green patch for yourself; let nature's embrace envelop you. Allow the beauty and serenity to awaken your senses, and perhaps, just for a while, find solace in the simple pleasures of life.
