spring time

Streetscaped Delhi

Too exhausted and worn-out of hustle culture ? Fatigued and languid because of same old same old mundanity? .. A walk along Delhi streets or promenading in Delhi parks will certainly hit the spot. After the dreary , gloomy winters, the spring time is spreading cheer in the air, the beguiling blooms turning life from drab into fab..Majority of Delhi roads are dotted with vibrant clumps of flowers , despite a spooky AQI the air is redolent with fragrances of roses, marigolds, phlox and plethora of blooms exuding perfect vibes to elate  and unwind ..

The sprawling , spruced  manicured parks are a place to wade into silence and peace , to retrieve your memories..The crimson orange band of nustratiums and daisies streaming across the walkways. Myriad shades of petunia s arranged in different geometric patterns spread a riot of colours. The base of tall lofty trees spruced with beautiful pansies. Every street and roundabout is a smorgasbord of vibrant colourful blooms, a symphony of colours which is a feast to eyes. Pink asters, yellow coreopsis, red spiky salvia, hollyhocks, dianthus,linums and larkspurs planted in clumps on  roadsides look captivating and force a flicker of smile on otherwise tired and wan faces .

Tall leafless trees of Simal with woody red flowers is ubiquitous on Delhi streets.. and the thud with which the flowers fall and Whoa! a carpet of red flowers on the ground. The brand spanking sun light shining through the bold and bare trees of Pulvaria is a spectacle in itself! 

Not to miss the papery foliage of Bougainvillea’s in a melange hues of pink , white, orange , lavender creeping high along the bushes and trees , and the red chandelier of bottle brush sprucing every nook and cranny . 

It is truly a rainbow on the ground ! Infact every street is a boulevard, the breathtaking vistas and resplendent paths adazzle with blossoms drives away the blues and rejuvinates the mind , body and soul. A short stint of tulip festival in the Lutyens delhi was a sight to behold … yellow , white , pink and orange bulbs bedecking the Shantipath and adjoining parks was something unthinkable in a place like Delhi and it was a rival to heaven with such beauty and brilliance around.  

And now waking up to a lash of rain , flicker of lightening and a boom of thunder makes the rain drenched roads with splash of colourful blooms more beautiful ,beguiling and beckoning!

Our lives may be imperfect and incomplete but a streak of joy slithers through the cracks and crevices in form of beautiful blooms which certainly chase away the gloom and slackens the fatigued , frazzled nerves !
