The guava tree outside our house.

The guava tree has a special place in our family. My father had a transferable job and during our childhood, we travelled from city to city, from house to house and for some reason, in every house, there will be a guava tree. When, after his retirement, my father built this house in Lankeshwar, Guwahati, the first tree that grew near the gate was a guava tree, laden with those marvellous green fruits with pink-red kernels.
