Threads of affection - Fili d'affetto - मोह के धागे

Family, Guwahati, Assam - Images by Sunil Deepak

Friends, Guwahati, Assam - Images by Sunil Deepak

Guwahati, Assam, India: Today's subject has those threads of affection that bind families, siblings and friends. When these threads break or tie up in knots, we feel the most hurt.

I have decided to stop updating this blog. It was started in 2005. It has around 2000 posts and lots of pictures. It has introduced me to some good friends and given me creative satisfaction. For all these years, selecting the pictures for this blog has been the first thing I have done after waking up. However, I no longer enjoy selecting the pictures. That is why I am suspending it. Thanks to all the readers and appreciators.

गुवाहाटी, असम, भारतः आज की तस्वीरों का विषय वह मोह के धागे हैं जो परिवारों को, भाई बहनों को, मित्रों को, बाँधते हैं. इन धागों की गाँठें हीं दिल में सबसे गहरी चुभती हैं.

मैंने इस ब्लाग से छुट्टी लेने की सोची है. यह ब्लाग 2005 में शुरु किया था, इसमें करीब 2000 पोस्ट और बहुत सी तस्वीरे हैं. इसके माध्यम से मुझे कुछ मित्र भी मिले हैं, और कलात्मक संतुष्टी भी. इन सालों में सुबह सुबह उठ कर मेरे दिन इसके लिए तस्वीरें चुनने से शुरु होते रहे हैं. पर आजकल तस्वीरें चुनने का मन नहीं करता. इसलिए ले रहाँ हूँ छुट्टी. ब्लाग के पाठकों-प्रशंसकों को धन्यवाद.

Guwahati, Assam, India: Il soggetto di oggi sono i fili d'affezione che legano le famiglie, i fratelli e gli amici. Quando questi fili si rompano o hanno i nodi, fanno più male.

Ho deciso di non aggiornare più questo blog. L'avevo iniziato nel 2005 e in questi tredici anni, ho scritto 2000 post e ha tante foto. Tramite questo blog ho trovato alcuni buoni amici e mi ha dato soddisfazione creativa. In tutti questi anni, spesso le mie mattine hanno iniziato con la selezione delle foto da inserire nel blog. Ma ultimamente la scelta delle foto non mi dà il piacere come prima. Per questo ho deciso la sospensione. Un grazie a tutti i lettori e apprezzatori!

Assam, India: Girls dancing Bihu assume a specific pose in which the upper part of the body is bent slightly forward and hands are kept on the back. Today's images have that pose. Tomorrow Assam will celebrate Bihu. Best wishes for Bihu to all my Assamese friends.

असम, भारतः बिहू नृत्य में युवतियों की एक विषेश मुद्रा होती है जिसमें शरीर का उपरी भाग आगे की ओर झुकता है और हाथ पीछे पीठ पर रखते हैं. आज की तस्वीरों में वही मुद्रा है. कल असम में बुहू का त्योहार मनाया जायेगा. मेरे सभी असमी मित्रों को बुहू की शुभकामनाएँ.

Assam, India: Le ragazze che ballano Bihu assumano una posa specifica nella quale la parte superiore del corpo è piegata leggermente in avanti mentre le mani sono sulla schiena. Le immagini di oggi hanno questa posa. Domani, si celebrerà la festa di Bihu in tutto l'Assam. I miei auguri di Bihu a tutti i miei amici assamesi.

Guwahati, Assam, India: There was a time when I wanted to know the precise meaning of each gesture and the significance of the dance. Now I want to feel what each gesture means to me, which emotions are touched by the dance.

गुवाहाटी, असम, भारतः एक समय था जब मैं जानना चाहता था कि नृत्य की किस मुद्रा का क्या अर्थ है और नृत्य क्या कहानी कह रहा है. अब मुझे अधिक महत्वपूर्ण लगता है यह जानना कि मेरे लिए किस मुद्रा का क्या अर्थ है और नृत्य से मुझे क्या महसूस होता है.

Guwahati, Assam, India: Una volta volevo sapere i significati precisi di ogni gesto e la trama della danza. Adesso invece mi interessa sapere che cosa mi dicono i gesti, e che cosa mi fa sentire la danza.

Kamrup district, Assam, India: At Mazgumi you can get a boat for going to the 20-25 inhabited islands in Brahmaputra river.

Distretto di Kamrup, Assam, India: A Mazgumi puoi prendere la barca per andare alle 20-25 isole abitate in mezzo al fiume Brahmaputra.

Le immagini di oggi hanno la riva del fiume a Mazgumi.

असम, भारतः हम लोग ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी के उस द्वीप पर एक नाव क्लिनिक के साथ गये थे. वह तभी नदी से निकल रहा था, मुँह तथा छाती मिट्टी से लिपे हुए थे. क्यों लगायी इस तरह से मिट्टी, मैंने कई बार पूछा पर उसने उत्तर नहीं दिया.

Assam, India: Eravamo andati su quell'isola del fiume Brahmaputra con una nave clinica. Lui era appena uscito dal fiume, con la terra sulla faccia e sul torace. Perché ti sei coperto di terra, gli ho chiesto più volte ma lui non mi ha risposto.
