Neem

2007.04.15

Many of you might know about neem tree, but may not know how it 's so integrated into Tamils life...

It is this time of the year that neem blooms, and the Tamil New year must have a delicacy cooked with neem flower - which is by the way bitter in taste and herbal in nature... it can be a rasam or maanga pachadi...

The message is that life is not just of sweet things alone, so one has to be prepared for bitterness also...

Carley Interesting that a tree with flowers so lovely and delicate would have a bitter taste. I wonder if it's a secondary message that not everything that looks sweet or gentle or harmless....is. The shot is very beautiful!
