For instance, the areas of Greater Kailash, Moolchand and Lajpat Nagar are full of Silk Cotton and Gulmohar Trees!

You cannot help but notice the onset of spring even from the metro as it passes over the ground through these areas as the sanguine blossoms cover your trail. Sometimes salvation awaits at home while you look for it elsewhere!
