Flower Series : Chrysanthemum

I had planted a red rose

In my China Clay Gamala

But what grew is 

A yellow Chrysanthemum.

These were the lines of my teacher Mr. Shailendra Kumar Singh who taught us English literature in BA. I was his student for "Drama" in second year and "Critical and Creative Writing" in third year.

This post is dedicated to my respected teacher Mr. Shailendra Kumar Singh who is probably still teaching in Padma Kanya Multiple Campus, Kathmandu, Nepal or may be he is retired. 

Mr. Singh motivated we students with his poems on our names. I was among those lucky pupils who received one. 

This was the time when I realized "Godavari" is called Chrysanthemum and I was doing graduation. Guess how slow I grew...

I was everyday watching these flowers grow on my way to and from office in the morning and evening. I was waiting for a chance when I could store them in my camera. Sometimes it was too late for the office and sometimes too late from the office. I was also waiting for them to fully grow so I can capture different shots.

Today when I reached office, the gate was locked and it was an opportunity to me. I clicked some beautiful shots. Beautiful... aren't they?

I fall in love with plants and flowers... No no, I fall in love with everything in the nature... What usually matters is if my camera has battery or not.

Today was a pleasing experience. Two little girls on the house opposite to where I was taking pictures, were lovingly talking about me. Someday in future, they will also grow a passion for something. Something like photoblogging...

Do you like Chrysanthemum? I do. I wish you happy times ahead. Cheers :) :)
