Music, Floral arrangement, Organisation of events

 I love to listen to music though I do not have any  preference.

Floral arrangement is one of my greatest  hobby, I love flowers and I particularly love  orchids and lilies . I have a special folio on pinterest for flower arrangement.

As I have a strong sense of planning I like to organise events for the family and friends and of course flower arrangement forms part of it.
