[/caption]Plantain laden with fruit waiting for its owner .The sight that welcomed me when I went to my old house last week. We shifted from there seven months back.
I don't miss the house , I don't miss the land , I don't miss my neighbours , I don't miss the calm and quiet.
I miss my plants .
I miss the sparrow family that lived in our bed room sun shade . They also go to bed along with us . We hear them chirping even in the night .
The bulbuls that lived in the mango tree in the front yard . The sun birds and wag tails and the butterflies that frolicked my garden . The parrots , yellow mag pies and mynahs that came in and out of the tree holes as they liked . The quail couple , spotted cuckoo and the group of crow pheasants ( uppan ) that visited the back yard. The Mangoose family .
The jasmines and tube roses in the front that I planted especially to fill the threshold with their sweet fragrance in the evenings .
Mandaram , Shoe flowers , Rajamalli , Kongini poo , Nandiarvattom, Golden trumpet flowers .... I miss them all.
Now , coming back to the Thursday challenge ,

Hi Krishna,
ReplyDeleteYour description of the plants and greenery reminded me of my stint in Palakkad. It was a beautiful period of my life when my little baby was just growing up. And we were surrounded all around by greenery.
Miss them too!:(
Palakkad is a beautiful place . for some unknown reasons it reminds me of bullock carts and palms . Some childhood nostalgia . :D
ReplyDeleteya !! I couldn't pull out the trees and all ;)
