Talking about his idea he was quoted in a report, "For 3-4 years I'd been trying to figure out how to grow plants in my auto. I asked everyone but no one gave me a satisfactory answer. Then found one plant-seller and I asked him to plant some grass on my auto's rooftop. Since then people are very happy (by looking at it) and I too feel very pleased." The trees also help to keep his auto cool and it is a respite to his passengers as well. It is indeed creative of Pal to have managed to maintain a garden so well.
