Solitude

I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Happy Colors

The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.”
~ John Ruskin

God is there for you to hold on.
Hold on to what is good, even if it’s a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe, even if it’s a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do, even if it’s a long way from here.
Hold on to your faith, even if it’s easier to let go.
Hold on to God’s hand””~.

Dear, Rest at Ease

Restless dragonfly, resting at ease. I found this beauty while travelling to an unknown place. It was afternoon, quite quiet time around, and I was walking beside an old wall. Suddenly I saw this one hanging on a branch of a creeper . I went closer to it. It didn’t move a bit.

Dear dragonfly, rest at ease and show me your beauty ....

Dear dragonfly, life is made perfect in you lovely….

Black n White

Sometimes we’re just too black and white in our thinking instead of acknowledging all the other colors of life. The world can’t always be neatly parceled up in the way that some of our questions about life might imply. That’s why, instead of asking for ‘answers’ of an question, we should just ask for’ impressions’~

Sometimes, the shades of gray is so much WoW

“Black and white creates a strange dreamscape that color never can”

Come, little leaves,” said the Wind one day, “Come to the meadows with me and play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold;
For Summer is past, and the days grow cold.”

~George Cooper

If I could talk to my younger self, I would just say that the path to great things is filled with a lot of stumbles, suffering, and challenges along the way. But if you have the right attitude and know that hard times will pass – and you get up each time – you will reach your destination.
~ Jonny Kim

Trees are poems
that the earth writes upon the sky!”

Kahlil Gibran

“Come, let us have some tea and
continue to talk about happy things”

“It’s not what you have on the outside that glitters in light,
it’s what you have on the inside that shines in the dark.”

― Anthony Liccione

You can be in love with solitude;
it won’t last long!
You can be in love with crowds;
it won’t last long!””

You don’t have to know where you’re going to get
exactly where you need to go”…..

How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.”
*– John Burroughs*

There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky.”
*– Dejan Stojanovic*

“Even when your life is full of color, you still need to be reminded that things come in black and white.”

জল বাড়ে মায়া বাড়ে,
নিয়তির খেলা
এক শ্রাবণে নৌওকো ভাসে
বিরহে একেলা!
মেঘে মেঘে এতো বেলা
হেসে খেলে অবহেলায়
অজানারী আহবানে
চলছে কেমন খেলা!

কি শুনাইলা কি বুঝাইলা
জড়াইলা কি মায়াতে!”

চিত্রকর!
আলোকিত আমি তোমার আলোকরশ্মিতে!

Painter, Creator
I am enlightened by your light!

There’s so much grey to every story – nothing is so black and white!”

Glorifying, Each Day

Each day,
Its more precious,
As I celebrate my life with you,
With a simple word, with heart felt appreciation,
With rainbow tears in eyes, with gratitude, with music,
With song, with a heart to let go, with loving acceptance
With graceful smile, with love light n warmth of hearts within.

Its more beautiful day,
Each moment of the each beautiful day.

Lonely Bird/ একলা পাখি

A little bird, all alone;
Thinking
How to find
A home of its soul.

একটি ছোট পাখি, একা;
ভাবছে বসে,
কিভাবে পাবে
তার আত্মার একটি বাড়ি! ♥

So in Love

For us to meet
Would be an impossible meeting;
At Ishikawa,
The clouds rise and roll across
Watching, I remember you.

Quotes on Photography

Photography attracts me on an undefined mysterious way. I would freeze the moment and let the imagination reach to and let our heart filling with love. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. True-an image talks more than words. When we can’t say what burns inside us we let talk with our images.

Photography,
A reason to live to be,
Warm like morning rays,
Bright like noontime sun,
Shining like evening stars;
I ll be able to see me,
Definitely.
