Living in
houses with lots of open space and a garden is a rarity these days. To think of
a mango tree, jackfruit tree, guava tree, drumstick tree, Jaam and Jamrool
trees, and some other trees in a garden in a city-house is a dream. The Champa,
the Shuili, the Joba, the Tagar, the Madhumalati creepers, and so many other
flowering plants give us their hue of colours when they bloom. But is this the
truth that one can see in high rise apartments?
