Flower Shower



This is a double exposure taken by me in 1965. When I look at it, it seems to express the essence of spring; a quiet kind of joy.

This old song from 1954, a non-film song sung by Geeta Roy, who later became Geeta Dutt, immediately came to mind when I recently re-discovered the picture. The first line means, "The breeze blows gently, causing the buds to joyfully open into flowers... "


Haule, Haule Hawa Dole, Kaliyon Ke Ghoonghat Khole
Aaja More Man Ke Raaja, Piya, Piya Papiha Bole

Haule Haule Hawa ....

Kaare, Kaare Badra Chhaye, Kaun Sandesha Laye
Sawan Suhawan Aaya, Piya Mere Tum Na Aaye

Haule Haule Hawa .....

Birhi Gagan Roye, Mere Do Nain Royen
Piya Tum Paas Nahin, Kahan Kis Desh Khoye

Ghan, Ghan Badra Gaaje, Jhan Jhan Payal Baje
Chhayi, Chhayi Haye Bahar, Tum Bin Jiya Na Laage

Haule Haule Hawa 

(See translation)

...Rachaao koyi kajra laao gajra
Rachaao koyi kajra laao gajra

Lachakti daaliyon tum
Lachakti daaliyon tum
Phool vaaron bahaar

Mera jeevan bhi sawaaron
Bahaaron...
