Innocence is bliss!
Incredible India! Photo courtesy: welcomenri Today, you won't recognize the place. It has developed into a busy town. But during 80's this place was happier, cooler and pleasant. Each plant ,weed or trees seemed happy with their own unique flowers and fruits. People were innocently happy. Festivals had a special charm as people open heartedly indulged in merrymaking. How a child looses his/her innocence? I think when he is exposed to rough and complicated experiences. My childhood was confined to my school, cousins and my friends at the neighborhood. That Asoka tree with big branches at my neighborhood, I remember , always had flowers...... and why not? They say that Asoka blossoms at the touch of "Kanya" (virgin). Sounds funny right? But it's an old belief better not to question it! It is an important tree in the cultural traditions of the Indian subcontinent and adjacent areas
