Walking by ourselves in Rome

Went to the hotel from the airport, but the room was not ready. So, we took a shower in the spa, dumped the suitcases and headed for a walk. The hotel is right in the middle of downtown. In about four minutes of walk, we reached the Trevi Fountain. We were here last in 2015 with the two daughters and the Roy family from Dallas!

Relaxing with some Manna Dey tracks

“হৃদয়ের গান শিখে তো গায় গো সবাই
কজনা হৃদয় দিয়ে গাইতে জানে
নয়নে কাজল সে তো সবাই পরে
কজনা তোমার মত চাইতে জানে”

Roughly translated..

“Many learn the songs of the heart,
But who can sing them as you do?
All line their eyes with kohl each day,
But who can cast a glance as you do?”
