Tabu Instagram – Saptaparini was its name..the tree that exuded the intoxicating fragrance one September evening. Each year it came at the same time,like a whisper to the senses.It’s arrival announced the arrival of winter,albeit mild in our city ,nevertheless welcome.After a long spell of stinging and oppressive summer and long stretches of incessant rain and moisture. It said that things that were on a boil will now start cooling down,some challenges will lose their steam. It reminded us that the earth will still run its cycle, trees will sprout new leaves and flowers will bloom and that we still have it in us to be able to consume it all..and so we must,the fragrance of the Saptaparini. Mumbai,September 2020.
