Saturday Snapshot-Hills of Scotland

Am I the only one struggling to believe that we're already in June 2017? And here I am, posting about a trip I took in June 2009. It's been 8 years since my family trip to the UK, but thanks to Melinda@Westmetromommyreads, I'm able to post about it through Saturday Snapshot. Continuing with my series, here are some pictures of Scotland.

Let me know which picture's your favourite in the comments below!

  1. Wow beautiful pics. Scotland looks as beautiful as they say. I think I like the third one the best- even though there's a car and a road it just looks so mythical there. But they all do really.

    1. It was actually quite pleasant. We were escaping the hot Indian summer so it was a pleasant change for us!

  4. I feel a curious affinity for Scotland that I can only explain as something that must be in my genes. So beautiful!

  7. My favorite is the first one. Did these pics inspire your poem "The Abode of Clouds"?

    1. No, although I can see why one might think that. I recently took a trip to a North-East Indian state, called "Meghalaya". The name of the state literally means "Abode of Clouds".

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.
