November Bloom

There are a few seasons, months every year when you will fall in love with Bangalore all over again. You will enjoy the bus rides. You will enjoy simply walking through the streets. One of these seasons the Jackeranda is in bloom, another season, the Gulmohar is in bloom, and then there are other flowers whose names I don’t know… a bright yellow flower, a pinkish orange flower…

This November (I mean 2008), a particular tree was laden with blossom. It was one of those trees whose name I do not know.

Sometimes, I wished I had a camera with me as I drove … other times, I did have a camera. I made it a point to carry my cam with me for a few weeks. On my way to some place I would take a sudden deviation just to take a picture of that tree… those pink bunches in air like cotton candy...its amazing what seasons can do the world…

Enjoy the pictures and tell me if it was worth all the trouble…
