Summer in Delhi gets quite torturous. Spring or rather March is one of the better months…I always tell people who intend to visit Delhi to stick to Feb-March or November. Rest of the time, Delhi’s got extreme climate…too HOT or too COLD.
There’s this tree outside the window here (the room where my pc is in and where I spend most of my time:-)!!)…which goes all bare right about the end of winter and then couple of weeks later…I luv to watch the tree come back to life…new leaves…that fresh look!

And then through out summer it keeps the harsh sun away from my room…just as it lets in the very same sun light stream in and keep me warm when it’s cold... :-)
Like a good friend…teaching me how sometimes we need to shelter others and sometimes we need to let them grow and bask in their glory…much like I’d like to be for my baby as he grows.

All bare… (pic taken a month back – 2006) ...What u see above is the tree…but the greenery is of the trees beyond. It’s a hazy pic I know!
I’m quite sentimental about this tree having been in this place for almost 14 years now and watching it grow from day one…there was a time when the management of our apartment complex was toying with the idea of cutting down some trees and putting in new ones…in a bid to improve the landscape. My tree (yes I call it mine!) was part of this whole demolition bid but I would not hear of it! That was few years ago…and she’s still standing…ummm…yes I think of the tree as a “she” :-)
A funny incident with the tree was when our downstairs neighbor’s help ( a young guy of about 15-16) would climb the tree and impersonate a monkey to keep my son amused (Vedant was about 2 years old then)…it would make me laugh too…
Beneath the tree is a bench…a place Rajiv and I would sit and talk…when we dated :-) in the past...and where, now, my son sits and has picnic lunches with his friends…
Well, now my tree's getting new leaves and seems to have grown even more since last summer…and as I sit and write this post…for her…I can’t help but smile…watching her outside my window...

In all her Glory… (pic taken in 2005)...The same tree again…but this years she’s looking bigger!
