Rebirth

 

Rebirth of leaves of the canon ball tree in Bandra.

In India, the tree is sacred to Hindus, who believe its hooded flowers look like the nāga under which the white stigma looks like a Lingam, and hence, it is grown at Shiva temples. The cannonball tree has since then been planted at Buddhist and Hindu religious sites in Asia in the belief that it is the tree of sacred scriptures. In Sri Lanka, Thailand and other Theravada Buddhist countries it has been planted at Buddhist monasteries and other religious sites. Ref Wikipedia

The rains are coming!

Traditionally, the male Asian koel is supposed to announce the arrival of the monsoon. He did his job well this year too!

Wait for side

Wait for side OK is the most common sign behind trucks and cargo vans in India. They are basically requesting the vehicle following it to have patience and not to honk or try to push your way through till you are given the Ok to overtake. This OK is when he moves aside to let you go 😇
