March to May are the most dreaded months every year ..... I absolutely abhor the heat ....To me ,it indicates the worst time of the year..... and since the past few years this period almost extends to the third week of june so it gets even more gruelling!
This year I wanted to do something else instead of cursing it almost everyday......so I decided to look for something nice in this season.... every season comes with something that it has to offer so for a change I wanted to look at the half which was full rather than the empty half......
And its amazing how when you set out to look for something pleasant you are never disappointed and almost always find it !
The first aspect that I noticed were the beautiful bougainville flowers , that too in full bloom ... In Mumbai we mostly have the pink variety and at some places you can also see the white ....... They can spotted from a distance due to the striking and bright PINK! And when you get to take a closer look its even more appealing and so soothing to your eyes .......
Then you also get to see some Gulmohar but thats a bit rare .... Then there are some mauve flowers( i dunno what they are called), which over the years have become a common sight in the summers ..... They are beautiful ...... And again like the BV they grow in bunches ....... There are 2-3 trees which are adorned by these in my lane itself .....
So in short there is a whole lot of different and lovely flora that you get to see all over, only in this season..........
Another beautiful aspect of the summer is 'evening time'... I have witnessed some of the most pretty sunsets in this season .. Sunsets are always beautiful but they are more so in this season...... The "dusk" that I usually witness at Joggers Park is like a collage to put it in the least ..... The sky looks like one huge canvas on which God has sprinkled some of his favourite colours lavishly! Just as the sun is on its way down , the sun's rays illuminate the cloud laden sky in such a way that the saying "every cloud has a silver lining" actually becomes a reality and suddenly comes to life! Its something that you have to see with your own eyes to believe! Its such a lovely experience to witness the sun turn from a huge yellow ball of fire to a subdued orange just prior to its setting! Seems almost like it has emitted all it could and is tired, dims itself and is off to la la land......
Nature has some very unique aspects that it chooses to offer us every season ... and its so amazing that what you get to see in one season rarely repeats itself in another.......
One more month to go and I am going to look out for more summer gems :)
