A View from the Terrace

Concrete jungle converges in ease with lush greenery; the view from the terrace. It is relaxing and de stressing. Flowered mango trees play harbinger to spring. They seem to be proud as its ilk around are still shedding. The small jungle on one side is a place to spot monkeys, birds, peacocks and not to mention the occasional amygdala stimulating, snakes. The sky is dotted with winged creatures both live and electronic. The jet planes leave silver trails all along. Eagles never seem to cease aviating. Flock of pigeons darts by. The concrete side, occupied by structures of different sizes and colours, stands in sharp contrast. Plastic tanks, cell towers and dish antennas adorn the roof tops. Blasts of horns from the busy roads are complemented by the tweets of birds. It is a blend of many contradictions with a charm of its own.
