PARIS, THE UNFORGETTABLE CITY
I miss Paris. A city where a walk to the nearest market feels like a journey through art and culture. I love the city for the wealth of its architectural heritage. Its iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum contribute to its enchanting reputation. Who doesn't love its art galleries, boulevards, cafes, wines, museums, historical buildings, fashion, cultural centres, theatres, cinema, Baudelaire, Emile Zola ,Andre Malraux, Marguerite Duras, Sartre, Camus, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas Auguste Rodin, Camille Pissarro and many more apart from almond croissants, macarons, steaming coffee or pain au chocolat? Its culture leaves an imprint on the spirit. It’s like stepping into a fairy tale but one that is very very much real. One can always see the heart of the city; warm and inspiring. One can hear the laughter of her heart in every street cafe.
I add three quotes about Paris, the "City of Lights ".
“A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life.” -Thomas Jefferson
“Breathe Paris in. It nourishes the soul.” -Victor Hugo
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” -...Ernest Hemingway
I wrote these lines for Paris...
( Hum se milo na aise )
jaise bus pal do pal nabh pe indra dhanush dikh paaye
Ya ikk sookhe khait se baadal bin barse udd jaaye
Jaise ikk beemar akela bookha hi so jaaye
...................Hum se milo na aise
Jaise ikk nirdhan maata bache ki baat ghumaaye
Bacha maange eik khilona maa chidiya dikhlaaye
Na milne par aksar bacha ro ro kar so jaaye
.........Hum se milo na aisse
