Jacaranda morning

March in Hyderabad Every so often I wish I were born In a simpler age (as if there ever were one) when one could lose oneself in the beauty of the purple haze offered by the lace-like blossoms smudged across the blue summer sky as I battle my way to work through the emissions of an information economy on the move.
