When Spring Scampers away...

The natural cycle keeps on repeating its course without flaw. Its flawless. With the last winter seemed quited prolonged, creeping into spring's territory, Spring in Calcutta/Kolkata seemed little cooler than last few years. Although the natural cycle maintained its course, it had a minor difference in thy life. This year Spring to me was more pink than it had been ever. The smile kept its promise to life.

Few days ago, while loitering on the streets of Calcutta, the palash (in bengali) came to thy eye sight. requested by one of my batchmate, I took some pictures. They seemed so glowy inspite the fact that the evening light fainted away. When I looked upon them, they seemed so brave... overlooking the fact that their time of existence was short spanned and will be over in a couple of days or weeks at the most. Thats because Spring is scampering away to make way for the drenching summer. It did feel ackward that such a beauty would be temporary and is about to fade away soon, but the new hope for a winning run in the rat race of social life amidst the summer scorcher seemed quite relieving.

Lets Smile....
