from Coaker's walk-Kodaikanal, South India

'Kodaikanal' literally means, 'the gift of the forest'. The most
inimitable of things certainly, are natural. Cradled in the southern
crest of the upper Palani Hills, in the Western Ghats, 120 kms from
Madurai, Kodaikanal is located 2133 m above sea level. Special efforts
are being made by the Tamil Nadu Tourism Department to prevent the
commercialisation of this scenic beauty.

Kodai is very chilly now. The best time to visit Kodaikanal is in May.
But in Madurai-just 120 km from Kodaikanal -it is very hot now in
March.

Have the promises at the dawn been kept?

Do not be sad. I'll carry it out!
There is no truth in experience. You are saved in my inner dawn.
So do not be sad. I'll carry it out!

It's a collage

a hibiscus

I saw it in the garden of Narayan Samajpati. But it was half-hidden by
leaves. So Narayan Babu had to bring it out by holding the branch and
keep it visible for me.
But still I'm not satisfied in the way it appears in its image.

Can there be any exact English term for the Bengali word -'khusi'?

flowers are like beautiful words

And they can translate their message for people of all languages.
But I think silence is the best medium!
