Saturday Snapshot- Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay

 Hey guys! Welcome back to another Saturday Snapshot*. These pictures are from my visit to "Gardens by the Bay" in Singapore. I'll post pictures of the Cloud Forest next week, but this week I'm focusing specifically on the Flower Dome. All pictures of the Singapore trip were taking by me- and all pictures of the Spain trip were taken by my dad.

      It certainly was a beautiful one. Gardens by the Bay has various climate-controlled domes and buildings that host different types of plants. It's a spectacular place!

      I wish I had a garden. I only have a few potted plants at home. But I guess we can't really compare ourselves to a team of professional horticulturists....

      Thanks for stopping by!

    We've had several friends who lived in Singapore for a few years. The flowers and gardens are all beautiful - and really gorgeous photos! I look forward to seeing more!

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.

A chameleon by Anton Cekhov

Hello everyone! Today I'm introducing a new series to my blog, called World Wednesday. I am not planning on posting these every week, but when I do, I will post about any piece of literature I’ve read that is set in a different culture, religion, country, state, continent, etc. It will be a window for people to share their opinions on literature that is outside of their comfort zones, and hopefully inspire them to read and learn more about other cultures. In a world that is so interconnected, it is important for us to know about other people's lives.   For this first post, I will be writing about "A Chameleon" by Anton Chekhov, a short satire set in Russia.

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'.
