Yesterday I got to see a picture of a field of Tulips. And it got me absolutely awestruck. I’m not the kind of person to admire flowers much…I mean, if you had given me just one Tulip, I may have not found it so beautiful. But a whole field of Tulips was too much to handle… I just couldn’t get enough of the pic and had to keep looking and looking. And it seemed to grow more beautiful with each passing minute. When I was in Higher Secondary, my school had houses by the name of flowers. And I was in the Tulips house. Never knew it was such a beautiful flower. The only flowers I like are the Red Rose and Jasmine (typical Tamil girl). The red rose looks absolutely out of the world when left to dry for a week…you then get a nearly black, crisp rose. I love it that way. And the Jasmine (has to be fresh buds) has a great smell and looks nice with a pattu saree. Talking about flowers, I had participated in an extempore where my topic was ‘Flowers’ I started off questioning the audience about the flowers women loved. You can bet, I had an amazingly attentive audience. And I remember, one guy actually gave me a red rose that day…J Getting back to why I liked the Tulips so much, maybe its because my favourite colour is Maroon. Or maybe it was because a whole field of it had a great effect on me. I’ve always noticed that a large number of flowers seen at once always have this effect on me than a single flower. Especially if it is not within my reach, i.e. it is something I cant see anytime I actually want to. I always get excited if I see a field of sunflowers when I’m driving or traveling. The same sunflower will have no great effect on me, when it comes in a bouquet. Well…that Tulip field has been in dreams since yesterday and it’s something I’d love to see in person, sometime.
