An Evening In Paris

Remember that iconic song 'An evening in Paris' from a Hindi movie by the same name?
The lyrics of that song from 1967 romantic thriller went something like:
अजी ऐसा मौका फिर कहाँ मिलेगा 
हमारे जैसा दिल कहाँ मिलेगा ?
आओ तुम को दिखलाता हूँ 
पेरिस की एक रंगीं शाम 
देखो देखो देखो देखो देखो 
An evening in Paris!
This story is inspired by the title of the above film. We take you around Paris through the lens of Akanksha, our daughter. As the lyrics of the above song say, "Where else will you get a chance like this?"

Readers may listen to the title song on YouTube.

Ghumakkad takes you to Paris just for an evening and that too in winter! Once again courtesy our daughter Ashi. She took the train from Amsterdam to Paris and back. She has shared some pictures taken recently. 



The photographer stayed in Paris for another day. So, we have some more daytime pictures of Paris but without the sunshine of the summer. But as I said earlier, gloomy weather of the winter poses more challenges for the photographer. And Ashi has done it well. Thank you Ashi once again.



Who wouldn't like to be in Paris on the Valentine's Day? Experience it through Ashi's lens.

The photographer on location!
Ashi had earlier shared the pictures of her short stay at Amsterdam a few days ago. We had posted a picture story linked below.

Amsterdam in Winter - No Tulips, yet a beautiful place. But yes, you can buy Tulip Hand Bags for the ladies as shown in the picture below. Moving at its own pace, people still feed the pigeons in the city square there.

  3. Lovely city. Surprised to read that pigeons are fed in Paris as well. In Mumbai there are famous Kabooter Khanas & people are still feeding pigeons even after advisory to not do so.
