Back in Mumbai after a month of travelling and catching up with all the emails here…<\/div>\n
…:
The hands at work are often overzealous and the plants may look stubby for a while but periodical pruning \/ trimming is no cause for alarm. What is really shameful, and habitually unremarked by most, is that a portion of that traffic island – which also happens to be the site of the 26\/11 memorial – has been transformed into a makeshift garbage dump. FYI, I had first sighted the flowers on 27 May 2013 and the plant that was flowering most profusely in the corner adjoining the subway had been uprooted when I revisited the site on the 2nd of June with Mr Ingalhalikar and his friends. It appears that you and your friends have missed seeing that plant altogether. Even now, you might encounter mango crates, glass & plastic waste callously dumped around the Pisonia<\/i> stand. Not unusual for one of the dirtiest cities on the planet in every manner possible.<\/font><\/div>\nFrom what I\u2019ve noticed in the short period between 27 May and 1 June 2013, the flowering has been scattered across Mumbai. However, it is imperative to underscore that the non-flowering plants far outnumber the paltry few that have flowered in each of these localities…<\/div>\n

Namaskar, I saw the buds in the morning(5\/6\/2014), will definitely contact the care taker; today evening, to avoid last years instance of chopping-off the plants,<\/div>\n
