Stand by me

Posted on

If I was a poet, I would have written a haiku to go with this tree that really caught my fancy during my Nandi Hills trip. I found some lyrics instead:

    “When the night has come
    And the land is dark
    And the moon is the only light we see
    No, I won’t be afraid
    Oh, I won’t be afraid
    Just as long as you stand
    Stand by me…”

It’s always a pleasure to go to Lalbagh during the flower shows, which are held in Jan and August every year in the city. This time around, despite noble intentions to go on the first day, I didn’t quite make it. So, on the last day (better late, than never!),…

  3. Hi Anita:

    This picture itself is a poem.

    I came across this site by chance

    I also looked at the photos found in ‘The The world through my viewfinder’ …

    You have an amazing talent and you will make a great phoographer (if not already..) and may hold exhibitions worldwide..

    Keep up the great work

    Thank You

  5. Thanks Numb and Mehak 🙂

    Ganesh: Thanks a lot for the compliment! And I can assure you that I have a long long way to go before that 🙂 Actually, I’m really keen to continue my painting too, and right now both the hobbies are fighting for attention and I know I can’t pursue both of them with the same level of intensity!

    Thanks Shobha!

  7. That’s a nice snap… I can’t help myself remembering these words…

    A poem worth a life

    Of a few words, unsaid

    A few lines, undrawn

    A single dot, unmarked.

    Written by a tree

    At the crack of dawn

    I shall sing it my remaining life.

    It reads even better in Marathi, the language it was originally written in…

  13. Thanks Chirayu, the picture is mine. But not the poem :)Unfortunately, poems are something I have not been particularly good at. I have made several sad attempts in the past but realised its not my cuppa tea!

  15. Anita: Got a chance to browse thru the art gallery …the soothing colors of autumn, basket of flowers, sunset or sunrise and fresh veggie look terrific. Although I am not very knowledgeable with technical aspects of painting and colors, still I am happy that I could appreciate nice painting(s)…

    I also read some of your articles written in rediff and like your sense of humor and writing style. (Simple and direct)…Guess what… I have decided to bookmark your page and visit them again.
