Kash Phul – Kans grass – Wild sugarcane -Â Saccharum spontaneum – “flowers” in the Autumn for a short while just after the rains have ended. The flowers [which are really the seeds escased in a tuft] will be gone in just a few days.
Just had to go out early morning today to enjoy the [...]
Drove out to Ashulia for lunch at Little Italy and spotted this purple house on the Turag.

Seems that there might have been some sort of a temple or idol placed inside the lower trunk… did not get closer to look.
