This is flower growing season in India and particularly in our state, West Bengal. Actually , that's the state I live in and see the happenings around. I see theore and more people love to grow flowers around their houses. Flower lovers crowd flower plants selling shops and by the looks of it you can guess it is a lucrative business.
I believe to be a flower lover you must possess an aesthetic sense. And I also believe that flower lovers should be people of good hearts. I would love to have such good people as friends.
But to my disappointment, I have not made a single friend at the flower shops. People go to the flower shops just as customers and not as willing candidates for friendship! In general, Bengalis are touchy lot about caste colour and creed. You may try to be friendly but you might most likely be thought to be an intruder .

That's a shame that the folks there are so hung up about caste colour and creed. Racism is still rife everywhere despite what people say. Sometimes it's very subtle but it's there.

I'm sorry that's happening. People here go shopping to spend money, not make friends, too.
