Bringing back sweet memories… “Frangipani”

Dec 18, 2007 | 30 comments

I was in delhi couple of mths back.. and thats when i got to spend a lot of time with my baby cousin Lakshmi.. she is adorable and angelic…. 🙂

one day, when me, uncle and L were getting back home from an outing at Dilli Haat, she suddenly said “Frangipani“.. i was lost, perplexed, wondering what she was talking about.. had no clues basically.. asked uncle wat she wanted.. he then spoke to L and said “kuruvi, tell aartikka wat Frangipani is”.. and she with all innocence replied saying” its a flower”….

today, was browsing the net for some info on one of the topics i was working on, and saw the name “Frangipani” pop up, bringing back lovely fond memoriess of that incident in delhi….

we then got back to my uncle’s house, n she promptly took me to their balcony and pointed to the Plumeria and said “this frangipani”…. woww~!! i was stumped…. 🙂

    I have stumbled across your blog and I have noticed you have used my Frangipani image in your post. This photograph is one from my website Rachel Greig Photography http://www.rgp.com.au. All of my images are protected by copyright, and although I’m not going to ask that you remove it, I am just leaving a comment here so your readers know where the original image comes from.

    As for the frangipani flower – it’s such a sweet smelling flower also. I love it when they bloom in the summer!

    Have a happy new year!
