The October Jasmines lost in the sun





Well, the weather didn't get naturally cooler as we had expected. So, the sun did get harsh, and the pre-winter spirits were lost, and presently are fighting for time and space in its  last war with the summer-monsoon heat. I went up early to catch the with the Jasmine, locally known as "Sheuli" tree,  which was timely in its seasonal bloom, sweet scented, and fresh. But now, mostly the scented orange studded jasmines had dropped off in the warmth. They expected dew drops but now it was heavy sun. Even though they were rains during the night,  the sun took over. Yet, they were fresh, soft and delicate. Their texture is unique, their beauty still adorns many a festive times and festive moods at this time of the year. Atleast, they filled the tree but sadly easily fell off in the heat, as if we heard them come and leave with amidst their soft whispers.......
