1. Had to look up the word…and found it spelled “gulmohars”, are they one and the same? Anyway, a lovely poem as always, Goutam!

   1. Yes….they are the same. Probably “gulmohars” is the right spelling….I may have made a mistake. Will check this and correct later. Thank you so much for letting me know. How are you doing? 😊

      1. I’m okay, thanks for asking…I’m considering doing the Nat’l Novel Writing Month challenge again this year, it’s in November–and I could use it to complete and edit the novel I wrote last year. It’s kind of grueling, nothing else gets done when you need to meet a daily word count in order to make the ultimate goal of 50,000 words by Nov 30. So, we shall see 🙂

      2. Wow! That’s quite a challenge! Almost 3000+ words per day is quite a task. You deserve kudos to even think of taking up this challenge….I don’t think I can even think about doing it. Where is your novel available….on Amazon online?

      3. Oh no, my manuscript isn’t completed–no vision of publishing yet 🙂 I didn’t think I could do the challenge last year–it wasn’t till the very last day of Oct that a few bloggers told me, “go for it!” And I thought, “what’s the worst that could happen?” I gained a lot from the experience: the story wrote itself each day, I met the 50,000 words early–but the story waits to be finished 🙂

2. Some cities do have beautiful plants to make them more tolerable. I’ve found that I much prefer living in the country, though.

   1. Nothing can match the beauty of a countryside. What the city planners do is an attempt to recreate the beauty of a country; in developing and populous country like India, the task becomes even more difficult due to a growing population and poor infrastructure in the villages and smaller towns. As regards the gulmohur, it has flowers in bright hues of red, yellow and purple and are a treat to watch when in bloom. Thanks so much. 😊🙏
