We, too, are on the cusp of another move but I won't be leaving a place as enchanting as the Pondside, so no regrets there. :-) <br />Have a lovely week. Hugs.

And that's primarily the reason why it was different this time, why I saw my own homeland with a pair of new eyes. It was as if I was seeing everything for the first time - the roads, the paddy fields, the people, and even the beach. So thank you, actually! :-) Sumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251497690649264925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250710402534894008.post-77573088238778389232014-05-05T11:43:01.108+05:302014-05-05T11:43:01.108+05:30Dear Helen,

Thank you. <br />Yes, Odisha is a very green state since most part of it is either agricultural or is covered in dense forests. I hope you make it to India some day and paint our countryside. It'll be a joy for both you and us. <br /><br />Have a wonderful week. <br />SumanSumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251497690649264925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250710402534894008.post-52305080649303819592014-05-05T11:39:03.546+05:302014-05-05T11:39:03.546+05:30Dear Jane and Lance,

Life has been happening way too much over the summer, but I'm resolved to be the good blogger I was once upon a time.<br /> <br />Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. Yes, ours is a country of strange contrasts, which, most of the times, is a little unnerving. 'Sublime' would be, I suppose, the best word to describe the beautiful chaos it is.<br />How we'd love to read a blog post by you on India; but of course, before that you must visit us. It'll be pleasure to have adventurers like you!

Odisha is so rich in colour and I would just love to visit and paint those boats, the vibrant colours of the market and who said Ireland is the greenest country? I think that can be debated.<br />Have a glorios week<br />Helenxxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250710402534894008.post-7815812172434943502014-04-07T19:50:16.590+05:302014-04-07T19:50:16.590+05:30Hello Suman,
Certainly poetic.
How beautifully ...Hello Suman,<br /><br />Certainly poetic. <br /><br />How beautifully you weave words, images and the imagination into the glorious masterpiece that is your homeland and your homecoming. The sights, sounds and scents are with us now and what a strange and exotic land this seems to us. Foreigners who have never travelled to this country of huge contrasts, sublime beauty and grinding poverty. And, how we know that we should be seduced by this land of magical mystery but for ever be denied that deeply spiritual contentment you feel on returning home.<br /><br />This is such a wonderful post.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
