Your expression very sweet. Believ...Dear Bhaswati,<br /><br />Your expression very sweet. Believe me...I too am not a poet. But I personally believe that what is spontaneous is a poem. And your stuff is spontaneuous, rythmic and more importantly soothing to the heart and mind. The polls in Bihar keeps me very busy making me move out in the hinterlands and write political stuff for the newspaper I work for for. That's why I saw your post quite late. Still, I enjoyed it.

I was taken to an expansive garden, somewhere in Holland (at that time, I hadn't yet stepped out of India). The garden, I was told (and would see later) consisted entirely of weeds. I saw some familiar weed plants and stood transfixed by the novelty of the idea. <br /><br />Enjoy your pujo; won't utter your name for the next five days. :)Bhaswatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397144389576029618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-41593425975975947132010-10-12T18:43:01.575-07:002010-10-12T18:43:01.575-07:00Wow, a garden of weeds!

And he also said, "Poetry is not a form, or occupation...that lines don't reach the end of the page is no guarantee. Poetry is a verdict." So my verdict: yes - this "spontaneous expression, triggered by memory" is most definitely poetry! <br /><br />And yes, shubho pujo to you too (though I hate festive seasons in Bengal when my name becomes a plague)!Shubhohttp://blog.rarh.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-86104283125620084612010-10-12T10:48:33.708-07:002010-10-12T10:48:33.708-07:00Thanks for your lovely comment, Shubho!

I have heard so much about the dyeing of clothes using the stem (or your corolla :)), but haven't actually seen that done. <br /><br />Agree with your thoughts on clearing the weed to beautify the garden. Would you believe it, I once had a dream that featured a garden of, yes, weeds! One of the most enchanting dreams I've ever had. <br /><br />Shubho pujo to you!Bhaswatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397144389576029618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-91030088664218546092010-10-12T10:25:20.762-07:002010-10-12T10:25:20.762-07:00Lovely!

I remember, as children growing up in Santiniketan, we were to taught to gather these from the ground in the morning...So beautiful...and then one used the orange stem (actually, the fused corolla, I think...my botany's a bit rusty) to dye clothes...you get a rich yellow if processed properly! But yes, it killed the pretty flower :( But I guess behind every idea of beauty there's some cruelty...To keep your garden clean you banish the weed, which is a flower too...Shubhohttp://blog.rarh.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-86521877160536158622010-10-10T20:27:10.348-07:002010-10-10T20:27:10.348-07:00Hey, Susan!
