Amaltash - Another Year Passes By

Just when we are trying to brace ourselves for the hot Indian summer, nature reminds us that beauty can exist even in the harshest environs with the golden Amaltash flowers blossoming all over Delhi.

There is this huge Amaltash tree overlooking my bedroom window. It blossoms once every year, with the most beautiful yellow flowers. They look like exquisite gold chandeliers. Whenever I open the window, I see this spectacular sight of the entire tree aflame with the most vibrant yellow flowers, bowing down, as if to pay homage to nature. The flowers actually blend beautifully with the few light green leaves of the tree. The splash of yellow actually spreads so much cheer on a hot summer day. I feel these golden flowers are a symbol of happiness
