Kerala monsoon | A photojournalist’s cashew-scented memories

When the cashew trees atop the hill begin to blossom, one can smell summer. When the luxuriant green of the tall grass begins to change colour, one can see summer. On the laterite hill, where even the cashew trees don’t grow, one can touch summer and bathe in its warmth. The pictures that remain unscathed by the heat proclaim that the colour of summer is a green burnt gold.
