Decatur

Hi, I am Priyank Shah from India. Unfortunately, I am unacquainted of the places in Atlanta. So, I thought that I would explore some of the well-known places in Atlanta and in addition, to write of one of the neighborhood in Atlanta was a part of my project. However, the one that dazzled me was Decatur, GA. The reason it astonished me was it gave me the view that was apposite for my project. I think the place is somewhere in middle of Decatur.




When I entered that spot, I marked it out why do the people love to stay in Georgia. This is because when the first time I landed to Atlanta, I didn’t mark out any difference between my cities (Mumbai) and Atlanta. However, when I saw Decatur, it made me feel that I am at home. It was a totally different experience for me that I didn’t expect in Decatur. There was a something analogous to porch in that area and it was surrounded by green space. It had a clear view with two students doing their homework, children playing Frisbee, girls gossiping, and a couple eating an ice-cream. It looked phenomenal in Decatur. Children were playing Frisbee and they were making a lot of noise. It is implicit that people make noise when they play. It looked a contrast between the students studying at one side and children making noise on the other side. On the other hand, the girls were having tittle-tattle. Although that looked amazing, the couple was the one that amazed me. They were aged. But, they looked like “a pair made in heaven”. I was looking at them. They were having a talk after eating the ice-cream. Soon, the old woman was making faces and trying to avoid the old man and the old man was expressing regret to the old woman. There were no actions from the old woman. But, she ultimately listens to the old man. It may be because of some misunderstanding. However, the thing that I noticed for them was true love that is rarely seen these days. This made me to put pen to paper about this city.
