This Time of the Year

How does Nature keep its clock? And synchronises it, year after year?

It is again this time of the year.

When Madhu Malti weaves its magic

When Golden Trumpet shines

When Tesu the flame of the forest is on fire

When the Bougainvillea paints itself pink

When the Guava trees start flowering again

When the Neem shows its tiny flowers silently

And much more! Provided you have the patience to observe!

Another season around Holi and spring in Secunderabad has just gone past. Sharing few pictures to tell that it is again this time of the year.













Here are the links to some of our earlier stories related to Nature.

Tree Bark As Rat Poison - read about a tree whose bark acts as a poison for the rats who eat away the roots of plants in a garden or field!

Nature's Clock - How the custard apple fruit synchronises its arrival with Diwali every year in one part of India? Like a geo-synchronous satellite, Diwali dates change every year. But the custard apple starts to ripen in the tree on dot! Read on.


Brahma Kamal A Smart Plant - Smart watch, smart cities and now a smart plant! How does it synchronise its blooming around a full moon night? Read on.


For more pictures around Holi and spring, you may browse our picture story linked below:

Why I Love Golfing? Not because of exercise but because of being with Nature for four hours! Golfing buddies would love it too!

Hope our stories have triggered some inquisitiveness about Nature in you. Do share your observations of the world around you!

Nature and its seasons return every year. On dot. Without fail. 

Only we humans may not be the same. We may lose some hair, put on some weight. Shed a tooth or two or develop creaking knees. We may add a member or two to our family, or lose another. That is the cycle of life.

Do find time to enjoy the Nature. As Wordsworth said in his poem The Tables Turned, 'Let Nature be your Teacher'!

Sharing another story on learning from Nature is linked below:

Life Lessons from Madhu Malti - This creeper has many life lessons for us. Read on.


Signing off with another picture from our yard of a favourite fruit of many in India and overseas!

You are welcome to our home, pluck a mango or two (or more!) and eat it. You will feel the difference in the taste and falvour of fruits grown and ripened organically!

Thanks for browsing
