Sadly, it is not to remain for long. The place will soon be 'cleaned' and like a beautiful lock of hair shaved off clean, the entire lock of wild flowers will be cut off till the place resembles a lost, spooky land of the dead. But right now, if you walk in during the time of the setting sun, the cemetery resembles a serene abode where those departed have set up the whole banquet in pink so that your mind and body can find those precious moments of contentment and peace in the midst of a life that is fast riding by like the speeding vehicles right down the road.
It seems that once this cemetery was covered in Red Poppies. But now for reasons unknown, it has become the abode of the pink. In the West, probably, a few benches would have been made ready for the elderly as well as those who want to steal some surreal time for themselves. But here, it is just the land of those departed. And moreover - just as a piece of information - as part of the road widening process, about 23 cents of this land will vanish and about 500 of the buried would be shifted to the newly made vaults which again has become an issue as the Pharmacy Council Employees Union (PCEU) has raised an objection saying that the vaults are too near the Public Health Laboratory. But all these apart, just open your eyes to the wild pink flowers in revelry at the cemetery and your day is made..

The lovely Gift in full Bloom, to the Living , from the Departed...

Or is Nature paying Homage to those Gone...

The Dusk is the gate way to Dawn..Is Death a fresh new Beginning..

The lone angel..is she sad that her injured hand is been replaced with that of a doll's...

These dry vaults will hold the remains of the once buried..the wild flowers may never grow here...

These tiny pink ones speak for those silenced...

Would you let flowers envelop you like this, definitely not as long as one is alive..!.

What is Death but Life Rejuvenated!
