View all responses

Amidst the chaos and rush of our everyday lives,
It’s easy to forget what makes our souls thrive,
But in the little things lies true happiness,
Here are five everyday things that can bring us bliss.

First on the list is a simple cup of tea,
Steaming hot and fragrant, a moment just for me,
As I take a sip, I breathe in the aroma deep,
My senses awaken, and I forget to even think.

Next up, a walk in nature’s loving embrace,
With each step, my worries seem to fade,
The gentle rustle of leaves, the chirping of birds,
All around, nature’s orchestra plays her tunes.

Then, a phone call or text from a loved one,
A message of care, a reminder that I’m not alone,
As I read their words, a smile creeps up my face,
Their love, a warm blanket, in life’s cold embrace.

Fourth on the list is music, a gift to our soul,
With each note, it transports us to a place whole,
Whether it’s upbeat or mellow, it sets our hearts free,
And for a moment, we can be whoever we want to be.

Last but not least, a good book to read,
A portal to another world, where our imaginations can feed,
As we flip through the pages, we become the characters,
And for a moment, we forget our own life’s theaters.

In these five simple things, lies happiness in disguise,
It’s up to us to recognize and cherish them, as life flies,
For when we take a moment to indulge in life’s small joys,
Our souls light up, and our hearts dance with joy.

Fascinating Parisian Windows

On By namitadashIn Photography, places, Travel, Uncategorized3 Comments

I am sure all of us here have seen Baby’s Day out multiple times. No I am not here to talk about the movie. I am here to talk about the ‘attic’ in the movie where the kidnappers take the baby as hostage. Wait, 🙂 hear me out. The round windows in attic is something I am just so fascinated with. The architecture of Paris is a unique and dynamic fusion of different styles, reflecting the city’s long and rich history.

Round windows, also known as oeil-de-boeuf windows, are a distinctive feature of many houses in Paris, including those in the attics of older buildings. These windows were first popularized in the Baroque period and were often used to bring light into the upper floors of buildings.

In Paris, many of these round windows can be found in the attics of Haussmannian buildings, which were constructed in the mid-19th century during a period of extensive urban renovation. These buildings were typically built with several floors, including an attic level which was used for storage or servant quarters.

The round windows in these attics serve both a practical and an aesthetic purpose. They allow natural light to enter the space, which is especially important since attics tend to be dark and cramped. Additionally, the windows provide a unique architectural feature that adds character and charm to the building’s facade.

The design of these windows is typically quite simple, with a circular frame and a single pane of glass. Some are adorned with decorative elements such as moldings or wrought iron grilles, which add to their visual appeal.

In modern times, many of these historic buildings have been converted into apartments or offices, and the attics have been renovated into desirable living or workspaces. The round windows in these attics continue to serve their original purpose of bringing light into the space while also providing a unique design feature that is quintessentially Parisian.

How many of you here have been to Paris. Its so much more than just Eiffel Tower.

A vivid, vibrant flower, the Bougainvilliea blossoms with a beauty that is both captivating and inspiring, offering a glimpse of the beauty of nature.As life can be filled with uncertainty, the Bougainvilliea stands tall in its faith and resilience, providing us with a reminder of the strength within us all.

Amidst my struggles with anxiety, When life seems heavy and grey,

The sight of bougainvillea blooming, Brings a glimmer of hope my way.

Its vivid colors and sturdy blooms, Remind me to stay strong,

To hold on to positivity, And keep moving along.

Even when my mind feels clouded, And my thoughts are hard to bear,

The sight of bougainvillea blooming, Helps me to persevere.

For like this resilient flower, I too can weather the storm,

And find the strength within myself, To keep my spirit warm.

So when I’m feeling overwhelmed, And darkness clouds my mind,

I’ll look to bougainvillea blooming, And the hope that it can find.

For like the flowers that never give up, I too can keep fighting on,

And find the light amidst the darkness, Until a new day has dawned.

Rainy Weekend

On By namitadashIn Nature, Photography, places, Poem, Social, Travel, Uncategorized, Writing3 Comments

The rain has finally ceased, its symphony now gone,

And I step out to witness the aftermath of the storm.

The streets are damp and glistening, with puddles reflecting light,

And the leaves of the drenched trees, sparkle with new-found might.

The air is cool and crisp, with a fragrance of earth and rain,

And the city that was once dreary, now appears all new again.

I walk down the familiar paths, that are now transformed in their guise,

As if, the rain has washed away, all the city’s laments and cries.

The vendors have resumed their posts, as people start to emerge,

The sound of their chatter and bustle, seem to be a happy surge.

I take a deep breath, to relish the freshness that the rain has brought,

And the feeling of contentment, that’s been planted in my thought.

As I traverse my way, my footsteps leave a trail behind,

And the music of the squish and splash, is music to my mind.

The world seems to be alive, with colours so vibrant and bright,

As if the city is reveling, in its own newfound light.

So let us embrace the aftermath of the rain in Kolkata,

And venture out to witness, the city’s new and enchanting avatar,

For in the rain we find a connection to the world,

And in its aftermath, we witness beauty unfurled.
