Have you seen the new leaves on Delhi's trees these days? Delhi has the unique distinction of hosting Spring and Autumn together. The shiny, coppery green new leaves of the Jamun, Banyan and Peepul trees, the lime green shoots on the branches of others are breath-taking.
The Gulmohar, which in some months will be a riot of Orange is bursting forth small tendrils of its new foliage from branches which the sunless bleak winter had laid bare.
The Morning Glory on my balcony grill greets me with a burst of its trumpet-like flowers every morning, heralding the start of a beautiful spring morning.
In contrast, heaps of yellowing leaves line the lanes where some trees have begun their Autumnal Spring dance. These contrasts reinforce the eternal truth that beginnings and endings are both a part of an eternal circle.
