Stop and smell...

For the last 3 days it has poured and poured. Rain drops as fat as over-sized beads have lashed my city. Stray dogs, cats and homeless humans have been hard hit to find a dry spot, but the rain has been a godsend for the flora . The dust of summer has been washed off and green in its true shades is all around for us to admire.

But in a busy city like Bombay does anyone have the time to stop and take it all in? I for one was a busy Metropolitan who rushed to and from and rarely stopped to smell the flowers. But as I've grown older, the fancy malls and the brightly lit shops have lost their sparkle. Instead, it's Nature that grabs my attention now. And in my observations I have identified some really wonderful trees that I had never noticed before.

I hope to learn how to upload pictures soon so that I can post some....in the meantime, it's only words....
