Places to see spring blooms in Connecticut



COVID-19 has changed the world in many ways, including the way we live, eat, and travel. However, nature remains constant, with its routes and rhythms unchanged, and continues to bless us with its bounty. Even though I love my home state, Connecticut's spring, but staying homebound made me realize its uniqueness. Here are a few of my picks




Cherry blossom in Wooster Square:  Country's prolific lawmaker's alma mater, Yale's home, New Haven, Wooster Square. When the cherry blooms, it creates the delicate, delightful nature's own canopy.  You will be intrigued by visiting this wonderful and historic park, which boasts pristine architecture and is renowned for its beauty during the cherry blossom season, when the trees were planted in 1973. In the midst of a busy life, taking a break to visit this cute little park can calm you down and rejuvenate.  





"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance".


 BY William Wordsworth 
Daffodils in Hubbard Park- When 600,000 Daffodils bloom in Hubbard Park, it will surely remind you of Wordwordth's famous Poem above. Consisting of creeks, ponds, valleys, bridges, and a glimpse of Castle Craig above the park, it is definitely worth a visit anytime, but is a must in the peak of daffodils. Soak yourself in the sea of yellow and dreamy daffodils. 







Tulips in Elizabeth Garden-Spring is not spring without seeing the blooms and beauty of Tulips. In this case, Elizabeth Park has got you covered... a sight to behold. Tucked in lush green, visiting Elizabeth Park is always a treat. Vivid blooms in this beautiful park will perk up any season, especially Spring when Tulips are at their peak.

    These are all great choices! I haven't been to Elizabeth Park in the longest time. Might have to get over there for a visit soon!

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...

Jurun...an assamese beautiful pre-wedding ceremony

  Indian weddings encompass many beautiful ceremonies and traditions. In Assamese culture, Jurun is a pre-wedding ceremony. It usually occurs a day or two before the wedding day, sometimes even on the same day of the wedding. A tradition where the groom’s family, especially women, visit the bride's family to present the wedding trousseau (Mekhela chadar), jewelry, some makeup, and accessories. In my belief, a tradition that welcomes the bride to her new family with gifts, love, and blessings.  On the day of Jurun, Aam Dali godha (A stringed mango leaf) is a tradition and is tied over the door. It is believed that it will ward off all bad energy and bring good luck to the newlyweds. Usually, jurun happens in the morning or before noon. The goom does not accompany the group. Before going to the bride's home, the groom and his family get blessings from the people who gather for the jurun. Another tradition associated with Jurun is filling two small bell metal vases (called l...

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but ...
