A khatta-meetha take on life around me through my presbiopic eyes!
The Chincha or Tamarind or Imli is wearing its beautiful coat of fresh feathery green leaves. In the blazing heat, it is soothing to the eyes and its shade is cool respite to anyone out on the roads during the day.

Here is the Silk Cotton Tree/Shyamali aka Bombax ceiba of the Malvaceae family.
This post is not about tree plantation rather about a drive that I went on just to see an Bombax ceiba with yellow flowers.
Yes,, yellow and not red/pink.

A familiar tree but some new story related to it!
The Ficus religiosa of Pimpal or Peepal.
Todays plant is a massive woody liana (creeper) whose trunk can compete with that of any tree. Yes, I am referring to the Bauhinia vahlii of the Caesalpiniaceae family. Though it belongs to the foothills of the Himalayas there are two of them growing quite happily in Pune.

Todays tree is unusal species in Pune .. The Ficus natalensis which is a non native and lives in a public park. It has triangular leaves with a typical forked vein.
This tree seems to be dancing.. either it has multiple branches right from the base or more than one sapling was planted together.
Either way, it has a dramatic effect!
