Travel Quote Series – Finding The Beautiful
Beneath the Howrah Bridge – Kolkata, India
The ‘City of Joy’ has had its fair share of bad press over the years, but there is much beauty to be found in Calcutta if only one cares to look.
Until next time….happy travels, no matter where life takes you.
So true! Great quote.
Thanks David. Apologies for bombarding you with posts 😉
What a beautiful combination of words and image, Madhu! The perfect mood, it deserves a frame.
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy weekend Dina!
Absolutely Madhu, we just need to keep our eyes open!
I know you always do Gilly. Have a great weekend! 🙂
Great quote Madhu!
Thank you LuAnn.
What a very true saying, Madhu. Love your beautiful image. 🙂
That ia a personal favourite from Calcutta. Thanks Sylvia.
One of Ron’s favorite places, Madhu. I haven’t been there. A relevant quote and picturesque image, Madhu.
Than you Lynne. Ron’s brilliant images speak for themselves.
Fantastic Madhu! A lovely photograph and a beautiful quote to go with it.
Ah, thank you very much Uday.
What a wonderful idea of posting using Travel quotes theme! Will look thru’ all the others soon.
Much appreciated Veena. Have a great day!
Calcutta! I shall be back in a couple of weeks, and I will go with camera!
Look forward to your Calcutta gallery Rajiv.
So now, I must go back with mt camera!
“if only one cares to look” perfectly encapsulated, madhu. if people cared enough, they’d find every country to be a portion of their own.
Even if some places demand a bit more effort 🙂
Calcutta? Bad press? I would so embrace every bit of Calcutta’s bad press. Seen it in The Amazing Race over and over again, and I would love to be there myself.
But you always carry the beautiful with you Rommel! I know you will not be disappointed 🙂 Try and plan a trip East before you leave Greece.
You are so right, beauty or ugliness is just as much within a person as it is in what is viewed. Nice thought.
Yes, in the eyes of the beholder Ian! 🙂
Beautiful image, Madhu. I wouldn’t really know what to expect but I’d like to take a look.
Jo it is not quite your English countryside, but enjoyable if you have an open mind. And a nice place to retire to every evening 😀
Beautiful quote… It’s so true!
Perhaps not for all places but for most. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Josie.
Great quote and image, Madhu.
Thank you very much for your visit and comment Jane. Have a lovely weekend!
Yes, the city of Kolkatta is full of joy and again it is in our mind and the eye to behold, so much to explore and cherish in this city of history and heritage, culture and traditions aplenty…
Beautiful words in the quote…
😀
Thank you Nihar. Have a great day!
You too have a lovely weekend…
😀
Absolutely true! And this bridge is beautiful too. I think that Emerson is my favourite quoter.
Mine too. That bridge is the symbol of Calcutta. It was renamed Rabindra Sethu (Bridge) after you know who 🙂 But people still refer to it as the Howrah.
Yes, for once I know after who 😀 Thank you, darling.
😉
P.S. When did you change your theme? It looks very neat. I like it better than the two previous ones.
Its the same theme Paula. I just discarded the background image and changed the title font. I like this better too.
So, you’ve cleaned it up 🙂 Nice job!
Went on a de-cluttering spree! Best thing to do when you are procrastinating .
Like the pairing up of the quote and the photograph, the perfect compliments. (Your blog looks nice too, although I did like the past version as well!)
A wonderful reminder!
Absolutely loved this quote, Madhu!
