Dear Diary,
It is the start of the week. I am very much excited. I am going to spend the entire week with my cousin, Alok. Today morning, we went to visit the Flower Exhibition. It was very interesting. Alok had suggested the idea of going to the exhibition. It was an annual exhibition for professionals in floriculture and landscape design. It was a comprehensive business platform covering all sectors of floriculture and flower business. The exhibition displayed a wide variety of exotic flowers. It also exhibited various flower species including hybrids. It was one of the country’s greatest flower show including events like Summer Garden Competition, Foliage Plants Show, Home Growing Competition, etc. The vibrant colours were totally out of this world. I look forward to attend more of such exhibitions in future.

What is Ailing Indian Sport’
Don’t you think that it is a matter of shame that India, which is the second most populated country of the world could win only a single gold and a couple of bronze medals, whereas small nations like Korea and Japan are faring much better. If we look deeply into the matter, we will find that we ourselves are to be blamed for it.
We have a poor infrastructure, so where do the athletes go for practise ? Along with this, we find that sports is considered to be a poor career choice. There is no security that a person will become successful. Coupled with this, we find that those who are really interested in sports, don’t stand a chance of shining due to the dirty politics being played. Politicians want to support their own candidates rather than the deserving ones.
There is also a lack of good coaches, in addition to it we have a poor, unsystematic and mismanaged approach towards sports.
We can, thus, see that much ails Indian sports but if we all make a joint approach, I’m sure we will be able to surmount these problems and make the country proud of our sports persons.
Thanking you.
Answer:
A FLOWER SHOW
Flower shows are yearly features. These are not only a show but it creates interest among the people. Viewers are lovers of flower and wait for the show for almost a year. Flowers of different kinds and colours are exhibited. Flower-beds are also systematically arranged to appear nice and pretty.
Normally, January to March is the period of flower show. During this period the flowers are in full bloom. Hence, the flower show produces a spectacular scene. All the flowers create an authentic and nice view.
“Ikebana section” is most popular these days in every flower show. Ikebana is Japanese method of flower arrangement. With the help of some “aids” flowers and similar objects are given specific shapes. Ikebana may use different types of “aids” to provide types of base for flower arrangement. Now these types of flower arrangement are very popular. At the flower show “Ikebana section” is most crowded.
Flowers in the show are brought from private and government gardens, offices and nurseries. Individuals also provide flowers in the form of ‘entries’. There are not so large numbers but mostly of high quality. These entries earn many prizes.
Men, women and children visit flower shows in large numbers. Mostly the ‘show’ is held on Saturday and Sunday. Flower shows are arranged by District authorities on district level.
There are all types of attraction for women and children. Besides stall of fancy goods, there are stalls of ‘eatables’ and general interest. Goods of women’s interest are widely exhibited in the show.
