What is there to crib about........?
I don’t know what is there to crib about ………summer in Chennai is really beautiful. Walk along any market area you can always find mounds of fruits….No…im not talking about Kiwi or granny Smith but the good old melons. Juicy, red and sweet ............are there any adjectives to describe their taste…it is an instant thirst quencher……succulent and as filling as mothers love.
Mangoes………..well people have written loads about it.I'm not going to expound on it but the very smell of mangoes bring a flood of memories…………happy, sad, of school holidays and care-free fun.
Yeah…baby cucumbers………raw mangoes………palm fruit……..tender coconut water when else can you enjoy the bounty of mother nature if there is no summer.
Call me a summer lover…call me crazy but you have to appreciate this season……..It is hot, stifling ,sweaty and smelly but nothing can match the pleasure of eating a whole mango.
Summer holidays were never complete without sights of children (some adults too) with sticky fingers and mango stained mouths.
Come July all this slowly start to fade away replaced by an even better season our monsoon. Everything is washed by the rains…the world looks clean, pure like a freshly bathed baby.
Though nothing can match the beauty of summer nights under the stars this season has its own treats….more on my next meeting.

Nirmala, you are right, summer in Chennai is indeed very beautiful.
I can still smell Jasmine, even though today I am thousands of miles away.
