Summer in New Delhi, the capital city of India, is scorching and temperatures can go as high as 48 Celcius (118 F).

“Dilliwalahs”, as we like to call ourselves enjoy all seasons year round, if winter brings with it grey foggy mornings, the summer announces its blazing arrival with scarlet boughs of the Gulmohar tree.

The Gulmohar tree with its frail leaves and flamboyant flowers dotting the capital’s tree lined roads is just one of the best things about an Indian summer.
