Its raining pink in Bangalore... Its raining pink in Bangalore...


    As I watch through the glass doors of my apartment in Bangalore,I see that pink is raining.Over all these years the best view from these doors are when the pink trees outside my apartment are in full bloom.Some of us call these cherry blossom, as they resemble the Japanese cherry blossom.The real name for this tree is Tabebuia rosea or Pink Poui or Pink Trumpet tree.
    As I walk through this lane in front of my house which is washed in pink,I cannot express enough the childlike enthusiasm and happiness that arise in our minds.Some keep on photographing these line of trees with their phones while others capture them in their minds and store it and wait for the next bloom to happen.
    The pink flowers first  appear as tiny bunches between the green leaves ,then they spread to form shades of pink with shades of green and then the green disappears and the trees are in full bloom.Now the most beautiful part is to watch the flowers spinning and raining on the ground  forming pink carpets.
