Struggled in vain to post a comment.. tried opening n account too but failed.. this was what I had wanted to post. Can you put it in?<br />Wonderful piece of work... coming together of two creative minds ! Makes us realize what a beautiful city this was along the mighty Red River, the blue hills, the colonial bungalows with the flaming red Krishnachuras... and alas how we spoilt it all in the name of "civilization", "development" and wanton destruction of Mother Nature .. Enjoyed it much Kanak... keep them comingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-62592551854210342062009-12-05T18:11:31.640+05:302009-12-05T18:11:31.640+05:30What a heartfelt poem - the poet seems to capture ...What a heartfelt poem - the poet seems to capture the heartbeat of this city, so far from where I live.

Thank you for showing us the photos of the diverse surroundings. I really liked what Jodi said, the reason blogging is such a treasure, to learn how people really live in lands far from out own. For me, I like a little hot, and a little cold, not too much of each. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-29717898343229111102009-12-01T20:28:15.927+05:302009-12-01T20:28:15.927+05:30Zindagi...thanks!

My husband's transferable job took us to many small towns across Assam. Wherever we went neighbours simply came over and introduced themselves and were friendly. We never got that here. It was a rude introduction to "city" life!!<br /><br /><br />Tyra...wish you'll come some day! You've already seen Kerala and Rajasthan. Think about Assam!:)<br /><br /><br />Green Thumb...Swagatam!

Is it not a similar case of today's societies that there seems to be no time for that which is most important? People scurrying by, paying no attention to life that is in the present moment... with no understanding that "now" is all we have. <br /><br />Thank you Kanak for sharing your wonderful photos and an extraordinary poem with us.
