Seasons of life

Nature has a constant change.

Rains
Rain comes as a boon not only to the vegetation but also to the people after the hot summer. Tiny drops of water collectively make wonders that all our senses relish.

The smell of mud after the first rain of the season takes you to a mystic world of peace! - an act of cleansing the soul?

It cleans the vegetation of the dust they have been carrying through the other seasons. The rain continuously leases life to the worn out vegetation. The color of prosperity not only is soothing to eyes but also a retreat to the worn out mind.

Winter
Come winter, the vegetation has grown sufficiently well. The atmosphere has enough moisture. The freshness of cool breeze coming from the plants and trees around can never match the latest technology ACs.

Slowly, the plants start shredding their grown leaves. Aging is painful. Dark, gloomy, muted environment – apt time for introspection? The trees which were radiating prosperity now look empty with only the trunk and barks. A show of solidarity to carry-on majestically through thick and thin!

Spring
The nightingale announces the start of spring with its beautiful voice. A pleasant and cheerful environment around that everyone will look forward to. Neither too cold nor very hot.

Colorful flowers blooming and butterflies flying around, birds chirping and children playing! A dream that every human dreams of, once in lifetime – time for fun and reaching out to people!

Summer
One season, kind-of dreaded by most in the tropical region! The life perspires and is at the mercy of the Sun god. The backbone of our life can be excruciating! It reminds of tough times in ones’ life.

Each and every season has its own benefits. And the disadvantages we think of each season are essential elements for the cycle.

Humans try to overcome these disadvantages to the maximum unlike other living organisms.

Most of the living organisms try and modify themselves for the “constant” changes of the environment. And humans modify everything around them except themselves! Soon, there will be a day when the humans will not have any immunity.

Seasons add life to the monotonous existence. Each one of the season signifies the lessons and the stages of life.

We, the intelligent of all the animals on the earth, see the seasons physically. These seasons never happen mentally. Our mind does not grow or change “constantly” according to the seasons. Good or bad, we are trained like that.

Don’t you think that the mind & heart need these seasons? A season for cleansing & growing, one for introspecting, another for enjoying and the fourth for with-standing the atrocities we have made for ourselves.
