One for All

Sifting through the yellow pages, I fretted over my lawn which now had yellow patches where the dog had peed. Even the evergreens had succumbed to the unkempt state of my lawn.

Planning a garden party for my newly married sister and her husband added to my anxiety. My face curdled and my dismay was obvious. The only thing that came to my already-overworked mind was to call my best friend and bug her with my anxious questions.

She had been a November bride and a very regal one, I must say. Everything, from designing the dress to the event management had been done by Ali Xeeshan. I had never had a first-hand experience with the dress designer cum wedding planner and when I did, I really could not help but be awed at what I saw. 

My awestruck gaze had wandered from the bride’s outfit to the arrangements of the wedding and I couldn’t help but wonder how Ali Xeeshan had managed to do all this and that too, at the same time. The entire event had an imperial feel to it. The themes were colors of purple and golden, both shades of royalty. An antique Mughal ambiance had been created for the guests to indulge in a blast from the past.

As the bride and groom walked in, heads turned and jaws dropped. Their outfits matched the environment that had been created for them. Their pedestal was perfect and their nobility was enviable. A farshi-lehnga with heavy embellishment accompanied by antique jewelry added to the old-is-gold look. Behind all this was just one person: Ali Xeeshan.

Coming back to my woes, planning a garden party for my sister and her husband had brought me to the state where I was a little short of pulling out my hair in desperation. Calling my friend and subjecting her to my whines seemed a good option too. This time, however, in addition to consolation, she had a solution and a good one too.

Her suggestion of having Ali Xeeshan do the landscaping at my house seemed like a godsend.the project that started as a ray of hope and ended up being a bright shining sun. The designer transformed my lawn into the Garden of Eden. Walking in a totally new lawn that surrounded the building of my house, I thought of the makeover both for me and my family as well for the guests.

Fountains and a thick carpet of lush green grass highlighted the newly planted greenery by the Landscape Genius. All the right places were lighted up with orbs of yellow luminosity while the weaker parts of the lawn were hidden in the shadows.

A present for the newly-weds was a piece of wall art also done by Ali Xeeshan. The exquisite painting now adorns a wall of the couple’s bedroom. Using a delightful color palette, he has conveyed his thoughts with clarity and precision that is not seen very often nowadays.

Ali Xeeshan lives up to the statement ‘All for one and one for all’. Multi-talented and passionate about what he does, Ali Xeeshan has much to showcase that one enjoys watching.
