Boston Museum Of Fine Arts

Boston is a city which is full of history.
For most of the people it reminds of England. Most of the buildings are constructed in the English style.
Its famous for some of  the oldest Churches in America. The street names and building names are all of British style. Its also the place where British first arrived and settled.

Boston's museum of fine arts is one of the finest museums. It took 2 days for us to cover the entire arts museum. Some of the artifacts are amazing. I'll show few of the snaps here.

 MFA building...

 Various harps collected over centuries... they are just beautiful.... i have seen people playing harps only in olden movies.

 This huge statue of pharoh reminded me of "The Mummy" movie. Its carved out in marble and it is magnificent.

 The above  are the boxes which hold mummies in the Egypt. The paintings on the box depict the history of the person dead. Also it conveys a lot about the Egyptian kingdom and its people.

 I just loved this libation bowl made out of gold. It should be easily weighing 100-150grams. Its dated to 7th century BC. Its just beautiful. Click on the picture to know about the history of the bowl.

 The above statue is made of marble and its the story about a prostitute.

The black granite sculpture is a very famous one describing the massacre.

 I m not sure of the importance of the above artifact. But its a beak holding the moon.

This belongs to the modern art. Its the cow made from the scrap iron wire. If you carefully observe, one of is leg is missing. Its strange though.
 Thats it for the museum. There are about 1000 pics that we took in the arts museum in two days. I couldnt accommodate all of them though. I will try to cover some of the other significant ones in the next post.
But for now...the above ones should be enough to give an idea of the museum :)

PS: If you are living somewhere near to Boston, visit the museum for sure. Its a nice place for art lovers.

Adios!!! 

Things that kept me occupied

Its been almost 3 months I have been here in Amreeka.
I have witnessed extreme cold weather compared to India while I was in Boston.
Saw snow for the first time in my life. It was a great experience though. I have shared few pictures in my previous post. They can be seen here


Because of snow I had to stick to home most of the time. My husband introduced me to anime shows for which he is a great fan.One of it is Avatar-The Last Airbender. He is here :P

 Aang is the protagonist... somehow in all the anime shows.. the hero is dumb and stupid. At the end he is the one who can only defeat the enemy.

 A must watch show for kids and elders as well. I loved Aang throughout the series. Infact I was dreaming about him also.... hehehee

The next anime show that kept me busy is Naruto. The Japanese shows have all the elements embed in it... like love, hate, fights and magic. These stories have unusual creatures with a weird imagination. Thats what I like about these stories.

Naruto is still an ongoing tv series. Staying tuned for more and more of adventure.As usual in this story, the protagonist is dumb and stupid. The amazing part of about him is that he gives on the fly solutions and saves himself and everyone. Isn't it fun to watch such shows. I m loving it.

If you really have some free time and want to have fun... go ahead and watch these two shows.
The negative thing about this show is that its very addictive. One cannot stop watching it at all.
I had to bear fierce looks from my husband when I told him that Naruto was in my dreams.
Heheheee... it happens and cant be helped if something is sooo good.

Have fun folks... I will write later something new.

Sunrise

 This photo was taken while going to New York from Boston. I loved the colors in this pics and the sunrays popping out slowly.

This is taken a little after the first one. The bright orange and yellow color of sun is simply awesome.
For more pictures of skywatch... look at Skywatch

Finally... its time :)

I have been very sluggish for the past few months. Somehow I couldnt give up lazyness to write interesting things. The most interesting part of my stay in USA is the snow. Its my first ever winter here and had loads of fun... Here are few glimpses of the same :)

 At the time of very bad snow storm in Boston.

 View from our window. The trees...cars... roads.. .everything was covered in just overnight snow fall.

 Finally I could get out of the house and take some snaps. It was freezing and by the time we took these snaps, my hands were numb already.

 Atlast  the final act of playing in snow.

Many more things to come ahead. Like visit to the Boston museum of Fine Arts... Connecticut trip... Temple Visit. Stay tuned folks!!!!

Back with lot more to write

Dear fellow bloggers....
How have you all been?? It was a month back I took the break from blogging. I feel like its been ages I havent written anything. There were many changes in my life for the past few months.
One of the biggest change in the past few days was moving to United States of Amreeka(America). The name sounds strange but thats how my little niece calls it. I love the way she pronounces it.
So I will continue writing with exciting things happening around...

love
sweeliee...
