Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai, India
I had just taken for granted a thousand moments —mostly because I had assumed that there would be a thousand more. It’s funny how one summer can change everything. So much happened in one summer, stirring up my memories. Everyone can reach back to one moment and lay a finger on it, finding the exact point when everything changed. That summer was mine.
Aptly named the flame of the forest (botanical name: Delonix Regia). On simmering hot summers, a lazy walk beneath the canopy of blazing Gulmohar is a delightful sight and serene experience one cannot forget. They blossom like a million bonfires, rejoicing and celebrating every moment of life.
