"Vriksh ho bhale khade, ho ghane, ho bade,
Ek patra chhah bhi, maang mat, maang mat, maang mat,
Agnipath, agnipath, agnipath."
Wishing a very happy birthday to my dad, a man of immense courage and unwavering honesty. As the Director of Horticulture and Landscape NDMC, he was instrumental in transforming Lutyens' Delhi into the green oasis it is today. His contributions to the field of landscape are unparalleled.
From my childhood, he taught me about the wonders of plants, the intricacies of tree surgery (a concept that was virtually unknown 50 years ago), and the importance of fruit trees in urban environments. His vision and dedication have not only shaped the landscape of our city but have also instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature.Dad, you are a true visionary, and your legacy will continue to inspire generations. Happy Birthday! BTW, the picture above is taken this morning. Planting trees on gurgaon road on his bday. Cheers.
