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.

    1. 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!

    1. 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!

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'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place. 

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.
