In fact, what with the airport having shifted and the sudden and huge silence over the air and the chatter of the birds, we could be somewhere far away from the city.
Lying awake at 3 in the morning, watching the night turn into dawn, I realise that everything is perfect.
And Sur, there are your yellow frangipanis. (km, if it's any consolation, the mangoes are dropping like flies in the unseasonal rains.)

i know! but isn;t it lovely? well, the bits where we run around putting pots under the leaks and closing all the windows so the rain doesn blow in can be a bit annoying. but i feel like we jumped straight to june 23. but i'm happy, it's like dear ol hyd is welcoming me home by giving me my favouritest hyd weather. and its a VERY good excuse to stay holed up and refuse to leave the house. which sounds a little silly connsidering our sunday morning family outign was a 92km ride to the airport and back. huzzah!
thank you thank you...
Lovely! Is that a kite on the peepul tree? It sounds so peaceful:)
mincat: i'm not complaining! but that's only because i need to go nowhere, especially not to the airport, and this didn't happen two months ago.
sur: :D you're welcome.
dipali: i don't know! we'll have to wait for ludwig or shweta or (now) bm to tell us. but yes, it is peaceful.
tai tien muy bien!
I like the picture of raindrops on sand very much. reminds one of pather panchali (raindrops hitting the pond/lake) with nice sitar(?!) music. lovely. Good mann vasanai happening.
frangipanis are also very nice.
I can ask the (now) birding sibling about the bird. But have to say, "it's catching". This shooting of bird posteriors. ahem.
Here the sun shines on.

Nice pics. Love the firangipani shots.
Hmm. Can smell the earth. Made me miss the Institute so much. The hostel room when it rained outside.
bm: i don't know...after some time the mann vasanai kind of evaporated. and about the birds - butt naturally!
ram: thanks (but you mean frangipani, don't you? not the pub in city center?)
banno: yes, but if you go to the hostel and it rained like it did, you'd just get depressed now. truly.
Thanks, you are doing a great job of consoling me :) Those poor baby mangoes.
//good to hear that the new airport has already brought silence (and birdsong) into the city.
///is the tabebuia the one with yellow or pink flowers?
