We went to the top floor of the Haldiram building opposite the CCFC. I looked out of the window, looking down at the tops of the trees and saw this amazing array of colours, the Gul Mohar like flames really, such vibrant and brilliant colours, the others with yellow and white flowers, full of lush and green leaves. Kolkata's saving grace really are its trees that seem to grow in all parts of the city, lining roads, in between buildings and popping up almost everywhere. Thank God for them!
It's amazing what soft greenery and flowers can do to soften and enhance the hard, harshness of our stone buildings. So important in concrete jungles.
