This is the time of the year that makes this city burst into its splendid colours. Its a sight to see! In addition, the added 'avenue art ' that is seen on the road is the remnant of the 'Baishakhi Alpona', from the Bangla New Year celebrations, artwork done on the eve of Bangla New Year by artists from all walks of the city, young and old. These avenues appear to be simply draped by these special, big blossoming trees which include the red Poincianas, true natives of forests of Madagascar as I have known, but suited to this climate, or may even be known as Flame trees, red and yellow, or in simple Bangla the Krishna, the red and yellow, the Radhachruras and the yellow 'Shornojuries' hanging golden bunches, that line the side entrances of the extended areas of the Parliament Building. They are simply gorgeous, captivating to everyone's eyesight, as they burst into their colours and ornamentally decorate the different parts of the city where they align the avenues, and bring the different parts of the city areas into a splendour of bright sun-colours! As you walk around through the Avenues around the Parliament Building surrounded by lush expanse of parks and lakes, you are taken by surprise as the area is simply lit up by its sparkling surrounding, romantic if some may describe it as, or simply gorgeous and firece for others, or just simply a city 'in Flames', whatever you may like to say or however you may like to express.... Simply stunning and extremely refreshing, for the tired city dwellers day or evening relaxations, amidst the heat of the summer. Take a close look.
