રમેશકુમાર જાંબુચા – કોઇ હસીને તો કોઇ રડીને દર્દ છુપાવે છે

કોઇ હસીને તો કોઇ રડીને દર્દ છુપાવે છે,
કેટલાયે મારી જેમ મજબૂરીથી ચલાવે છે.

કોઇ એને જઇને જરૂરથી આટલું કહેજો,
કે મારી ધડકન એની યાદો ચલાવે છે.

There is a jug of wine in the flower garden,

Drinking alone without any friends.

Where can we be more social then in a crowded place like Hyde Park? Here we find noisy children, weirdly dressed teenagers, overly affectionate adults and grumpy old men, not to mention the barking dogs. Of course, as you imagine, I have exaggerated the picture just to put a little humour in this trip that I would like to suggest to you: one hour in Hyde Park. This walk may be quite a nice guide to someone who want to spend just a short time in an open and wild place.

Let's see what we discover in this beautiful place!

We went to the London Aquarium on the 04/02/2016. This was a one of the most fantastic trips in our class.

There were so many kinds of fishes. I was very excited. There was the biggest turtle I have ever seen.

Some people think about the white shark is massive and is the most dangerous in the sea, but although white shark has a big mouth and sharp teeth, it looks quite gentle.

The cute clownfish and starfishes were playing hide and seek. They were so colourful. You had to look carefully then could find them.

The fragile seahorses lay on the seaweed or swam in the sea. They looked like they really enjoyed the life.

There are different places where we can be relaxed and calm. Being surrounded by nature can help to reach this sense of serenity, but it's not enough. Some months ago, it was a Friday afternoon, I met up with my boyfriend after work. He was really stressed for some deadlines and I was really dejected because I felt alone in a big city that doesn't belong to me! We decided to go to a park to relax, but it was quite far and we were tired... so we decided to go to drink something in Soho. That moment we had a great idea, we took something to eat, something to drink and we went to Soho Square! I think there isn't anything better than to stay on the lawn to drink wine and eat a good pizza. We forgot all our problems! So now every time we are tired or stressed we take a pizza, a bottle of wine and we sit on the grass! I know Soho Square is not a real relaxing place to spend time for someone, it's confusing and noisy but in this babble of voices we have our piece of lawn to relax and to be happy!

Cries a blackbird in the forest

At the Dealu-Mare crossroads...

Slowly approaches the hill

I visit a lot of good community spaces in London. My friends and I take the kids to play football in Hackney Marches and canoeing. Sometime we go fishing. I go swimming. When I was in Morocco my husband took my kids to the sea for fishing every day. They caught a lot of fish. In London they went fishing but they did not catch anything.

My little daughter loves playing with dolls but my son loves playing football. I love watching my children have fun. On Eid me and my family and friends all go to Regent's Park. Older people give presents to younger children. We all go to the park and play a family game. It is very fun and everyone goes home very happy.
