Bloomgale-Letter From Nature

For how long she doesn’t remember that she was compaired with flowers

Bloomgale-A Photo Essay


She wore flowers in her hair and carried magic secrets in her eyes. She spoke to no one. She spent hours on the riverbank. She smoked cigarettes and had midnight swims…” ― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Bloomgale is a photo essay on flowers that I photographed for a period which bloomed in my terrace garden and the parks I visited. I avoided segregation for viewing pleasure.

For how long she doesn’t remember, that she was compared to flowers every time she wore one in her hair.
She wore the violet petals that broke rocks, the red Gerbera which rocked hearts, held flower-bouquets veiling the brickbats, carried white wreaths on her cold body sacrificed, flew with the passing wind like dandelion florets only to be lost to the dust, may be to bloom again as life — still wanting to be a beautiful flower and invaded by the bees and butterflies….

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.” – Hans Christian Andersen
