A Reddish Orange Crown #ThursdayTreeLove

A majestic gulmohar tree near IIT KGP campus, Bhubaneswar. When the days get hotter, the hues of these flowers get better and darker. The whole of Bhubaneswar wears a reddish orange crown in summer. You'd find a gulmohar in every road, every corner.
A majestic Gulmohar tree near IIT KGP campus, Bhubaneswar. When the days get hotter, the hues of these flowers get better. Darker. Summer is here. The whole of Bhubaneswar adorns a reddish orange crown these days. You'd find a Gulmohar in every road, every corner.

I have been waiting to post a picture of a tree and take part in this linky since forever. Most often than not I would forget clicking a pic when I come across one, and sometimes the photos came hazy and blurred. I am mildly satisfied with this one now. If you have been to Bhubaneswar in summer, you must be very acquainted with these pictures. You might also be having one right in front of your balcony, if you happen to live here.


The linky can be found here.

  2. Gulmohar trees always rekindle childhood memories. My school had this in its ground and I would love collecting its orange petals.

  4. I saw your picture and thought it's Bangalore :) I see them bloom a lot here and to me, this tree blooming is an onset of spring. I am so glad you joined. :) Thank you!

  5. What a beautiful tree; alas, being tropical it would never grown where I live in the Northeastern United States.

  6. Gulmohar trees are gorgeous. We used to have a hill in Mumbai that would be on fire with Gulmohar trees in the summer . Sadly the red blossoms have to peep out of the concrete towers that are overshadowing them:(

  7. I love the Gulmohor... Its flamboyant colours are a huge visual relief in the hottest period of summer!

Queeristan by Parmesh Sahani

  Queeristan (Amazon Link) Thanks to Audible Free Trial I listened to this amazing non-fiction on LGBTQ inclusion in Indian workplaces. Author Parmesh Sahani identifies as gay Indian, working closely with Godrej higher management and employees for years to create an inclusive workplace, both legally and in spirit. This book is a result of those years of experience, research, collaboration with individuals from difference spectrum of the society and organizations who has successfully transitioned into a queer friendly one.   Indian history is inclusive. From the Khajuraho temple architectures, to Konark to the Rig Veda, there is existing proofs even 2000 years ago of Indian inclusiveness of queer. It’s the draconian British law that criminalised it, which was scraped in 2009, came into effect once again following a sad judgement in 2013 and eventually was scraped off for good in 2018. I am in awe of the lawyers who fought this legal battle- colleagues and partners – Arundhati Katju
