The Best Season

Growing up, I had always this confusion in my mind that which among the 4 seasons in india is the best one. In India, there are typically 4 seasons in an year viz. Winters, Summers, Spring and Rainy.  It was really difficult for me to choose between these 4 as every season has its pluses and minuses.

However in recent times, with close observation of my seasonal moods and activities each season offers, I am getting inclined towards a specific season to be considered as personal best. It is

                                                               Summer Season 

While I am not going to list down all the season's positives and negatives, however I am going to definitely pen down all the positives of the summer season.

So here we go

• Plenty of Sunshine: Oh, I love sunshine. It makes me feel alive and positive. Summer season offers the longest days of the year and its so good to see light till late 7 in evening. 

• Season of Mangoes: This is the season, which offers the best fruit of all. King of fruit - Mangoes. With me being resident of Maharashtra, Alphonsos from Ratnagiri and Devgarh just adds to the sensual pleasure of tongue

• Fashion Fiesta : This is the season where girls feel free to experiment with the clothings. Every inch they cut down from any part of the cloth, it gives birth to a entirely new fashion style. Shorts, skirts, tops, jeans are of varying sizes and all this can be experimented in summers without the fear of getting cold. Fashion for women, delight for men ;)

• Nani Ghar(grand mother) Masti : In India, there is a tradition for married women to go their mothers' place during summer season. This is very old tradition that continues to be followed today. Its a fun filled 1 month which includes the cousin group masti, video games, movies, picnics, card games, late night outs and many more. Though it can give headache to maternal uncles but the fun is worth the ache :)

• Juices and Icecreams: This is the season where all juices taste doubly delicious. Be it sugarcane, nariyal paani, watermelon - they all are just amazingly refreshing. Same is the case with ice creams. During summers only, you can see full family outing on Ice cream parlors. Also one cannot forget the slurping barf ka laddoo 

• IPL season: Off late, come Month of May and it marks IPL season. Its the youth's favourite league in India and there is so much buzz around this. Prime time is booked for 1 and half month and excitement is at its pinnacle

• Diving in a pool : In summers, only 2 things give soothing relief from the scorching heat : Swimming pools and ACs. Both are enjoyed the most in this season. Waterparks are crowded with so many families enjoying water and rides in unison. ACs just helps to forget the heat of the season and make our homes like Kashmir valley.

• Holidays : For schools and colleges, summers means holiday time with no stress of studies, homework or project. 

• Husband's Harmony : Come summer and husbands happily book their wife's tickets to their home town. This is the time they get to party with their friend without guilt and loiter around the home without complaints. They live the time of their year during this short break. 

There are many more to highlight, however I thing I have made my point. So its now official - Summers are the best atleast for me. There are surely some cons like its difficult to travel in summers, but then there is nothing perfect in this world. Let me know in comments your experiences with summer season.
