| The mystically scented ivory night jasmines are usually the first to bloom |
The strong scented orange jasmines, kaminis too fill the night summer air......
 |
| Not forgetting the regular, sweet scented most common true jasmines... |
 |
| Then, there are the delicate lilies, which too have their special fragrances.. |
 |
| Then, the plumeria varieties in white and other exotic colours are seen... |
 |
| And finally, our wonderful frangipanis that fill the tropical summer gardens with continuous happiness and joy with their creamy white, bunches of curves and curls. |
This year the summer heat has broken all the scales escalating to its peak, and the norwester winds have brought heavy downpours, in more occasions than last year, with splashes of rain and gusty winds some, even tearing down villages and destroying man-made set ups, homes and settlements. Yet, when it all quietens and in the next few days, all the summer heat and sun is back again, you would expect your tiny garden to be all wiped out. Yet, when I went up, saved from the norwesters, in a rain-washed surrounding and competing with each other, against the backdrop of the lush summer green, we have the blooming summer whites, jasmine varieties, the frangipanis, the night jasmines which bloomed overnight, plumerias and ofcourse not forgetting the lilies. Nature through this season of tropical summer and the summer-rains moving on to monsoons, is something that many a poets including Bengal's noble
laureate, Tagore has been intrigued and moved by. His writings have inspired most people who have read his wrtings and at some point in their lives been guided and touched by his spirits, with a message of love, romatisicm, humanness in one's journey through childhood to eternity. Through his writings and in his descriptions of sun-rain and riverine beauty, boats taking him through this wordly journey, from known to the unknown, and exclusively being inspired by nature and nature's blossoms particularly during the summer monsoons of the tropics. His poetic mastery in humanness, romaticism has not missed the names of most of these flowers in tropical nature of the summer monsoon season that I mention here which have touched our hearts and reached our souls to inspire us on a daily basis and learn to treasure the moments of love, happiness and joy. Their freshness and purity reminds us of our valiant, youthful spirits of the young that are so much more strong and courageous, capable of overcoming major hurdles and saddened plights and stand up to overcome, fresh and pure. Watch them, their white purity, their softnesss, and being entranced by their strong mystical fragrance or their soft soothing smell that fills the air around as the summer air brushes by you in depth of the night. This particular season also celebrates Tagore's birthday, his songs and writings too fill the air, with nostalgia in many of our hearts. Enjoy the white touches amidst the summer green and the beauty that unfolds.....
