There is this huge Amaltash tree overlooking my bedroom window. It blossoms once every year, with the most beautiful yellow flowers, which look like exquisite gold chandeliers. Whenever I open the window, I see a flash of bright colour. When you least expect it, in the heat of the month of May, I see this spectacular sight…. of the entire tree aflame with the most vibrant yellow flowers, bowing down, as if to pay homage to nature. The flowers blend beautifully with the few light green leaves of the tree. The splash of yellow spreads so much cheer on a hot summer day.
One may think that the Amaltash has beauty of form and no fragrance. But that is not so! Early in the morning the air is filled with its delicate and subtle fragrance. When the sunlight falls on the blossoms, they glisten like gold.
Their beauty is even more magical and sublime at night. Once I saw them by moonlight. The stars sparkle like little diamonds, heralding a brilliant destiny…. till I close my eyes and say, “The future is so bright that it hurts the eyes!”
