A khatta-meetha take on life around me through my presbiopic eyes!
It was indeed a great moment for me to see the Romdoul which is the national flower of Cambodia. Going by its botanical name Sphaerocoryn affinis of the Annonaceae family, the Romdoul flowers are said to be extremely fragrant as are its fruit.

After a prolonged Monsoon in Pune, rains are just about retreating. Morning walks call for a light jacket as the weather is chilly. The Tekdi offers wonderful views.. well worth the effort of waking up early.

Visiting the over100 year old Empress Garden is always amazing. There are many parts that I have not yet explored.
Recently I had the chance to visit one such area. I was stunned to see massive tall lofty Sterculia foetida trees there…all in bloom and in fruit.
The same area also had massive old Anogeiussus latifolia …
Treasures found that day. Its always a good idea to revisit locations.. One never knows what we may have missed in previous visits.
