Today evening, 16th June, the 3 of us ventured to take a ride by train from Dean Rd. Stn. to Copley--- another Stn. where there is the famous Boston Public Library. It is a well-built building with much of open space in front of it & opp. to this there is a high rise bldg.
The library is busy organising a gallery of pictures & photographs with writings explaining the heritage of the American civil war. It is now the 150th anniversary of the war. It is a great history. We enjoyed thoroughly.
As regards ourselves--- a few photographs were taken & our legs ached covering 2 floors & quite some length & breadth of the library. Readers, however, were non-challant of all such amateurish activities & kept themselves plunged in studying books & reference materials.
Exit Boston library & we were puzzled as to how to catch a train to Dean Rd. However, 1 or 2 people assisted & we got down at Beaconsfield Stn. which is also near our residence.
Next day 17th June
I apologise as I failed to write a blog yesterday & I am herein writing about 17th June.
Runi is on leave today ----- I think she wants to drive us to a few places e.g Arnold Arboretum ---- a botanical garden mainted beautifully by the Harvard Univ. plus a shopping mall for buying a thing or two.
Yash went to his pl. of wk early in the morning & we ate our meal early, to be driven by Runi in a car headed for the said Arnold arboretum. Not a far-away pl. fm our res., but it offers a sudden change of vision & wipes out boredum at once, in case you are bored by any means.
I have already said that the garden is well-maintained------ the tall trees have all their local names plus botanical names written over them. Even the smaller ones r also having the names & satisfies one's curiosity in respect of knowledge.
It was a sunny day, after a few rainy days & people were out everywhere to bathe in the sun----- many of them along with children who were playful & noisy enough to give the scenario an extra splash of color.
People carried pets , mainly dogs with them also. The dogs walked silently along with their masters, perhaps understanding the change of weather suddenly fm rainy days to a sunny day.
April and May r the months of flowers---- the season of the Lilacs is over ------ this caused us some disappointment, though it was expected.
However, roses had bloomed in large quantities & camera-saavy dada & Runi were happy taking photographs.
Therefrom, we went to a shopping mall (I don't remember the name), in a subarban area, in Arsenal Rd. They said it was a historic area.
Myself & Bou-di had our new shoes to be purchased. So, we did the same. Some more items were also purchased, may be for carrying to Kolkata. As usual, camers clicked & quite some time elapsed before we reached home.
