About the bookย INDIA and my Persian gardenย
"A must-read book for any true traveller"ย
โโฆI was walking in a labyrinth of extreme beauty:ย serene interior gardens; shady, covered verandahs; cool, marble loggias.ย Iโd climb up small towers and descend into yet another garden, where I ended up swinging on a sofa.ย On either side were a pair of marble urns with rose petals floating prettily in the waterโฆโย
ย โโฆAt other times we would be walking in the bazaars, going up a slight hill to the palace of the local maharajah, careful not to step on the baskets full of fruit, vegetables and spices being sold by women vendors, sitting cross-legged on the ground.ย The vibrant colours of the saris of the shoppers surrounding them would form a flower garden that lay on the streetโฆโย ย
โโฆThere was no moon that night.ย Instead, thousands of stars could be seen dazzling the night sky like so many diamonds while, on the opposite bank and beautifully lit up, was the City Palace, with all its domes, closed terraces and ledges with ornate windows.ย As I gazed at it, I saw colours swirling in the water:ย green; red; yellow...โย ย
โโฆI felt I was breathing an India of another timeโฆ an entire symphony of luminous diamonds, sapphires of the deepest blue, rubies the colour of pigeonโs blood, pink pearls and sea-green emeralds, most of which were set in goldโฆ like in the tales ofย A Thousand and One Nightsโฆโย
The Jewel in the Crown of England in the 19th century, today India spreads its shine on the Globe. A feast of colours, landscapes and works of Art; a mosaic of ideas and people that bear the stamp of its ageless wisdom. Everything in superlatives in the Indian world, seen through the alteration of contrasts:ย another order, both subversive and charming to the gaze of the traveller.ย
The book is illustrated withย colorfulย pictures.ย
