Saturday Snapshot- 21/11/15

Hello everyone! I've started participating in "Saturday Snapshot", which is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads. It challenges bloggers to put up a few pictures they (or their family/friends) have clicked every Saturday. This is my first post.... looking forward to continuing to share my experiences.
Batter in the muffin tins
This week, I baked delicious apple and cinnamon cupcakes from a recipe in Lisa Papademetriou's book, "Confectionately yours, Save the cupcake". I've outgrown the book,although it can be classified as Middle Grade The recipes, however.... are AMAZING! We baked 11 cupcakes, and they were all gone within 2 days. We gave three away, the rest were gobbled up by my family. Here are some pictures of the cupcakes and the baking process.

Enjoy your evening. Let me know if you've had any sweet treats this week in the comments section below.

    The cupcakes look great! My current dessert favourite that I had over the weekend is gurer taalshaansh from Bikenervala - these are better than the stuff I had at Kolkata and CR Park.

      Thank you. I haven't tried gurer taalshaansh, but they sound delicious. And if they were better than those in Kolkata.... then wow! They must have been amazing!

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
