কদম ফুল - Kadam phool- common burflower

বর্ষাকালের সিগনেচার বলা হয় কদম ফুলকে , আরেক নাম নীপ , " এসো নীপ বনে ... " কবিতা তো জানাই আছে যাতে বর্ষা মানেই নীপ ( কদম্ব ও বলে অনেক রাজ্যে ) ।   খুব পরিচিত এই ফুল , নিটোল গোলাকার , প্রথমে সবুজ , পরে লাল থেকে টকটকে কমলা রঙের সাথে অসংখ্য লম্বা সাদা ফ্রিলস পুরো ফুল জুড়ে ।   হাতে নিলে বোঝা যায় বেশ একটু ভারী , মানে কাউকে ঢিল ছুড়ে মারার মতো আর ওই সাদা ফ্রিলস গুলো এমনিতে নরম কিন্তু ছুড়লে হুঁহুঁ , লাগবে বেশ। খুব মিষ্টি একটা গন্ধ আছে , গাছের পাস দিয়ে গেলেই টের পাওয়া যায় ফুল ফুটেছে   ( কদম তলায় কে ?) । প্রচুর ফ্র্যাংগনান্স বা আতর তৈরি হয় এই গন্ধের। আমাদের দেশের লিপিগুলোতে কদম ফুলের ও গাছের নাম আছে আর আমাদের পৌরাণিক কথকথায় কদম ফুলের বড়ো মুখ্য একটা জায়গা আছে।   ভারতের উত্তর দিকে , ভগবৎ পুরান থেকে শুরু রাধা ও কৃষ্ণের দুজনের জীবনেই   কদম ফুল বেশ গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।   বৃন্দাবন - মথুরায় , গোবর্দ্ধন পাহাড়ের দিকে   প্রচুর কদম গাছ , এই সময় মানে বর্ষাক...

Aboriginal Art: Story Behind the Dot

First time I noticed this wonderful Dot Art at Melbourne museum and from the description get to know that this Dot Art is world famousAboriginal Art of Australia which is now internationally recognised. Then at the Victoria market got the full scope to explore the Dots of the art. The Aboriginal Art  painted in acrylic are a beautiful blend of traditional and contemporary form and the dot technique gives the painting an 3D effect and a sense of movement and rhythm too. My collections Photos from Victoria Market:  There are many shops in the market where selling several Art forms at a reasonable price and … more importantly to me a great chance to know the story behind the Dots. After taking with a shop owner he started to telling me whatever he knows about the Dot art and the artist of this artwork. This art is a team work because minimum 2 persons are needed to do the art. One will draw other person will do the Dots, finally the story of Art will emerge. So, bigger and depth ...

My days in the Gunj 2

Since couple of months planning to go in the Gunj but due to some other directions wasn't able to reach there. Finally at the end of year 2023 reached there, stayed in the colonial hut and explored the place on my motorcycle. The Gunj means the McCluskieganj, during mid nineties this hamlet was known as Mini England as it was the place for Anglo-Indians. But now only few family of Anglo-Indians are living here. Yeah, here is scope to stay in the colonial tiles hut as few of the homes are still maintaining the traditional home. I reached on 22nd of December, and had an advanced booking as this time become so crowded due to the holiday and festive season. While I was looking for my stay in Gunj as I used to do getting the contacts from google and calling them. Most of the homestay were not vacant on the dates which I decided to be there, but from the owner of Amyra homestay got a contact of Manojay the care taker Mac Garden and for 2 days he has a room. Here is a story, Mr. Raj Kisho...
