@flor_enthus Same with me

All. equally. 🌸🌿🌻☘️✨

@nehaa_sinha Is it still flowering there?

Palash, Asola sanctuary, Delhi.

@DrAmbrishMithal I could stand there for hours together watching over these gorgeous summer blooms, notwithstanding the heat of the summer- will chomp on the fresh Gulmohar petals for replenishment- especially savour the rani petals

Sometimes I wonder .. Does a Gulmohar know that it’s beautiful? Knows that we fall in love with it, write poems about it, stop to stare. Does it feel shy? Embarrassed by all this longing? Or does it simply soak in the adulation — Standing tall, spreading its gorgeous umbrella wide. The cynosure of all eyes. Sometimes I wonder .. #Gulmohar #DelonixRegia #FlameTree #DelhiSummer #VasantKunj

@flor_enthus Carbohydrates make way for proteins … btw what’s the price of wheat flour in Japan?

Six eggs cost ¥190 in Japan. Four small potatoes cost ¥298. Aloo paranthas, make way for egg curry 😌

@DrAmbrishMithal @Rennie_Mathews Gorgeous indeed, very representative of the current weather - flaming hot. Spotted these when I dared to venture out on my office room terrace

African tulip tree Spathodea campanulata (Rudrapalash / Rugtoora) 🌿 • Buds squirt water 💧 • Flowers hold rain like tiny cups • Native to Africa; introduced to India in the late 1800s. • Common in Bengaluru & Mysuru, relatively uncommon in #Delhi Spotted this one in the Qila Rai Pithora park, Saket on Saturday #DelhiTrees #AfricanTulipTree #flowers #flowerphotography @rameshpandeyifs @pargaien @nehaa_sinha

@flor_enthus I can really empathize, I enjoyed seeing one after reading about it in books - this was in Boston a few years back

My first real sighting of Ginkgo biloba after years of teaching it as a textbook ‘living fossil.’ I’ve explained its lineage, its persistence through time (270 my) but none of that quite prepared me for the shock of seeing it alive right in front of me 🥲

@flor_enthus Enjoy!!

The last few days when these guests will stay with us for this year- a flock of rosy starlings on the ghost tree #indiaves

@nehaa_sinha Lovely to spot these pioneer butterflies readying themselves for the nighttime

Butterflies resting in the night.

@flor_enthus I thought you will also post a pic of the oily muck that was removed😳

1000hrs- 1600hrs. Phew.

@flor_enthus Dal chawal- best thing you can have any day!! I love cooking this

With pasta 😵‍💫

@flor_enthus Seedha toh sirf geometry mein hi hota hai

Found an old watercolour while cleaning up my google photos yesterday #tedhahaiparmerahai 🫰🏻

@nehaa_sinha I have seen these nesting on an electric wire pole near my house in 2014, a pic for your reference

How sad though, have never seen them nest in between wires. Have you observed this #indiaves?

@asiyakhantrees @nehaa_sinha Thanks a lot, yes indeed, these are poisonous

@ajaykh23 @nehaa_sinha They look beautiful,heard they are poisonous if consumed.

If you live in a dry place, you know what this amazing thing is! What is it, and what do jewellers use it for? Read more about this in Wild Capital.

As we all know, flying can be a high pressure job, which must be released as soon as it builds- a cattle egret in flight does just that #indiaves #pressuresofflying #highpressurejob

Intruder alert- purple sunbird in flight tries its level best to shoo off the common woodshrike that perches on the jungle Jalebi tree that is part of its foraging routine #indiaves #domainwars

@anujg He started his Noida chapter speech with a different question!! Good to hear about how our alma mater has been progressing under his stewards

Attending IIT Madras 50th Alumni chapter launch in Gurugram. Director Prof Kamakoti starts his speech with a challenge to solve this

@flor_enthus Angoor khatte hai kya, aamiya jaise?

From today’s walk.

@flor_enthus @Rennie_Mathews Where there is a will, there is a way!!

Look at this crazy one- no substratum to hold it. I don’t even know how it’s staying up.
