My Top 5 Favorite Flowers

2011-11-26T00:30:00.000+06:00

The Rose: Apart from being one of the most beloved kinds of flowers of the world, the rose is special to me for more personal reasons. The rose is a very expressive flower. It can express romanticism, friendship, respect, remorse, consolation, and even hatred. I have loved roses all my life, thanks to my mother and her vibrant garden. Roses will always remind me of my mother.

The Orchid: If I did not love roses so much, orchids would take their place. The orchid is a recent favorite of mine, I've never viewed their beauty as much until I began photographing them. They have varying shapes, are quite delicate, and sometimes seem like they can be entities by themselves. Each kind appears to express its own personality, which appeals to me a lot. I finally understand why others have loved the Orchid so much. They are uniquely beautiful and interesting.

The Daisy: I love the Daisy for its simple beauty, common growth, and vivid colors. I've always enjoyed drawing them, they have such a uniformity to them. The Daisy is special to me because each time I pass one by when I am out and about, I am inclined to pick one so I may enjoy its radiance more. Daisies have an innocence to them, and a characteristic of joy and happiness that I have not seen in any other kind of flower.

The Sunflower: The mighty sunflower is a big fave with me simply because of their vibrant nature to be bold. They are known to face the sun as they grow, and there are even a variety of these flowers. The Sunflower is photogenic and has a mature characteristic to it. They remind me of large plains I'd like to live in. I also love how they grow so tall for their hunger for the sun. Sunflowers are tough, yet so lovely to look at.

The Carnation: Carnations are distinctive for their layers of flower petals and ruffled appearance. I enjoy these flowers because they are the flower for January, the month I was born; and they have a delicate scent that is unique to their species. Carnations really look quite lovely when grouped in a bouquet, especially when there are several colors displayed. I enjoy carnations most when they are multicolored or have distinct patterns, such as this one.

It is generally instructional and transmitted orally from singer to singer. The language of Baul music is continuously being modernized and thus giving a current relevance and meaning.

Although there are many speculations about the origin of Baul music, it is not well known. However, Baul movement was at its pick in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. And now it has become very popular among the rural people.

Baul music is sung by Bauls, mystic minstrels living in rural Bangladesh and West Bengal. Bauls travel from village to village and earn their living from singing. This particular group of folk singers follows a musical tradition. Baul music is sung with the accompaniment of the ektara, a simple one-stringed instrument, and a drum called dubki.

Baul music has a great influence on Bengali music. Some of the songs of Rabindranath Tagore were also widely influenced by Baul music.

Baul music has a distinctive melodic style which sets it apart from other genres of Bengali music. The lyrics of Baul songs mainly portray the beliefs of this religious sect and speak about the existence of God in this world in a physical form. The songs mainly depict about how God exists in every human soul.
