Summer......Golden Goddes....


Summer....nd yellow fever
************************

It is april , sweltering heat of bangalore dust n crowd take the charm of summer out of you...but still there are certain things that hold you back and make you enjoy the beauty of summer...
tiresome n roasting bangalore summer..

A fully blown tabebuia argentia, sister of golden godess*** tree is one of them..
Near to my office, now there are full blown golden trees ..when we goes for daily routine walk for lunch we could see full fully blown beautiful flames of gold...

I dnt know wat people call it, but I came to know the actual name of the tree is tabebuia argentia. for me it is a pleasant feeling that takes me back to my childhood dayz

summer vacations were also occasions of local festivals. I used to wait eagerly for the festival season as it was a time when all those cousins nd frends whom I used to meet only once in a year come together.....also by that time summer vacations would be about to finish.....so that sadness as well as the laziness to get back to the school would also in the back ground.. I used to pray let that festival never be complete...but again it will just remain as one among hundreds of my prayers; which goes unanswered..:-)

When I went home last month...summer was approaching the peak of itz tenure this year....yellow carpets in the shades of the golden goddes(i like to call it as golden goddes) had started to make distinct pattern

Be it in BTM,RT Nagar, Banaswadi or along the country side of valluvanadan land scape beside the railway line towards changanacherry... cacased yellow marvel of these golden tree is always a feeling that brings freshness in to your mind.Provided there is at least some amount of compassionate attitude left in your mind,provided you can spare some seconds to open your eyes and look at the yellow carpet that nature have preserved for you....
